Is your feature request related to a problem?

WiFiSTA.cpp is not enabling the feature flags related to roaming, e.g. rm_enabled (Radio Measurements), btm_enabled (BSS Transition Management), ft_enabled (Fast BSS Transition) options in wifi_sta_config_t.

Describe the solution you'd like

Roaming probably should just be enabled by default, so that the Arduino firmware can easily move between APs when a BSS consists of multiple connected APs (e.g. Unify or Fritzbox in mesh mode).

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Feature is disabled since it is not correctly working with esp32

Maybe it is working now, since a lot of changes / fixes are done since this time.
