Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently the ESP32 can only connect to WPA-secured WiFi using the default library, whereas it has support for all other security profiles.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a parameter in WiFi.begin, or add another WiFi.begin where we can give our own config.

Describe alternatives you've considered

it will actually use the security profile that the AP is advertising.

With 2.0.2 release, ESP32 can not join AP with hidden SSID and WEP security. It works well with release 1.0.6.
If I revert this commit the ESP32 joins correctly.

@patricklaf this has since been reverted in master: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/libraries/WiFi/src/WiFiSTA.cpp#L95
