Description

There is currently no single method way to reconnect the WiFi manager if the connection is lost. Currently it's a two step process:

```python
wifi.reset()
wifi.connect()
```

It would be nice to have a single call to do this - `wifi.reconnect()`

Research direction

Search the WiFi manager for the existing reset() and connect() methods and read how they are exposed. Add the requested reconnect() entry point so it performs the same two-step reconnect flow, then verify that callers can use wifi.reconnect() for a lost connection.
