Update feature asyncwebserver and fix network scanning

I am rebuilding this branch, to make it mergable from master, without conflicts

[tablatronix]

What particularly did you fix, there is a merge in this PR, or is that all it is?

[ovidiupruteanu]

This branch wasn't working for me, I had the same issue described by @dronecz in issue #1121 . I started by merging master, but that didn't fix the issue. It is now mergable from master without conflicts. I did my best to test it, and it works for me on ESP8266, but it should be double checked, I was not familiar with the code before starting this.

The change I made that fixed #1121 was to set _asyncScan to true and remove the hardcoded async=true from WiFiManager::WiFi_scanNetworks

ok ill check that also, thanks

I tested some more. On ESP8266 it's working with Auto, OnDemand, AutoNonBlocking, OnDemandNonBlocking, NonBlockingwParams. OTA Update doesn't seem to be working.

I also tested on ESP32 and for some reason it still does a SYNC Scan, I will debug further.

Rebooting...

Yeah thats a known issue

#1121

I see that wm_event_id != 0 was added to fix #1383 but this seems to cause it to never subscribe to WiFi events. Shouldn't it be wm_event_id == 0? After I changed this async network scanning started working on ESP32.

YES

Sorry, been distracted lately, and I didn't test it..

[ovidiupruteanu]

Thanks! This branch now works for both ESP8266 and ESP32. I am working with AsyncWebServer in my current project. Let me know if you need help with development or testing for this.

Any plans on merging this?
