jgujarathi c5d8acc40a feat(esp_wifi): Showcase roaming_app capabalities through dedicated example

- Shows use of roaming app through dedicated example : roaming_app_example.
- Changes the location of the earlier roaming example by moving it into the roaming_11kvr.
- Please note that this feature is still experimental and still being optimised
and tuned.

Supported Targets	ESP32	ESP32-C2	ESP32-C3	ESP32-C6	ESP32-S2	ESP32-S3

Wi-Fi Station Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

This example shows how to use the Wi-Fi Roaming App functionality of the Wi-Fi driver of ESP for efficient roaming between compatible APs.

How to use example

Configure the project

Open the project configuration menu (idf.py menuconfig).

In the Example Configuration menu:

Set the Wi-Fi configuration.
- Set WiFi SSID.
- Set WiFi Password.
To better understand how to configure the app in Components --> Wi-Fi --> Roaming App settings, please go read the README at components/esp_wifi/wifi_apps/roaming_app/src. Optional: If you need, change the other options according to your requirements.

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run the monitor tool to view the serial output:

Run idf.py -p PORT flash monitor to build, flash and monitor the project.

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for all the steps to configure and use the ESP-IDF to build projects.

Example Output

Note that the output, in particular the order of the output, may vary depending on the environment.

Console output if station roams between APs successfully:
