Fixed issue where esp32 won't reconnect to WiFi AP if the AP was restarted. (#7512)

* Fixed issue where esp32 won't reconnect to WiFi AP if the AP was restarted

* Added the autoReconnect condition and removed the reconnect reason

* Chenges on the WiFi reconnection and added new example

* Added new line at the end

* Changes reverted with some minor changes. New example remained

* Changes reverted and sync

+# WiFiClientConnect Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to connect to the WiFi and manage the status and disconnection from STA.
+
+# Supported Targets
+
+Currently, this example supports the following targets.
+
+| Supported Targets | ESP32 | ESP32-S2 | ESP32-C3 |
+| ----------------- | ----- | -------- | -------- |
+
+## How to Use Example
+
+* How to install the Arduino IDE: [Install Arduino IDE](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/tree/master/docs/arduino-ide).
+
+#### Using Arduino IDE
+
+* Before Compile/Verify, select the correct board: `Tools -> Board`.
+* Select the COM port: `Tools -> Port: xxx` where the `xxx` is the detected COM port.
+
+#### Using Platform IO
+
+* Select the COM port: `Devices` or set the `upload_port`` option on the `platformio.ini` file.

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+***Important: Be sure you're using a good quality USB cable that has enough power for your project.***
+
+* **Programming Fail:** If the programming/flash procedure fails, try to reduce the serial connection speed.
+* **COM port not detected:** Check the USB cable connection and the USB to Serial driver installation.
+
+If the error persists, you can ask for help at the official [ESP32 forum](https://esp32.com) or see [Contribute](#contribute).
