• WiFi basic AP settings page:

• Changed CCA to hybla for better upload speeds based on multiple reports.
• Switched to EXT4 images due to #9113, enabled filesystem check and repair prior to mounting, and strict filesystem options for resiliance against abrupt power cuts. Expect slightly slower startup.
• Use US regulatory by default with strict 40Mhz width for RPi4 integrated W-Fi AP.
• Set password for Wi-Fi default setup, and hide Wi-Fi AP from Speedify

Changelog 0.99.1 (hotfix -> settings retained):
