Summary
I had a lot of issues with the original implementation.
For example, the logic handling which password type should be used wasn't enough to connect to my home wifi, it was impossible to recover from incorrectly saved wifi passwords, authentication failure handling was insufficient which was causing the incorrectly saved passwords in the first place.
This PR refactors the Wifi commands with D-Bus calls, natively handles authentication types, while also introducing a few other improvements.
