Add Static IP for Wifi.

[dpackham]

Adding the option of a static IP will allow the ESP to boot much quicker.

In the "user config section" as well to keep it clean

I don't see this getting implemented. I'm betting someone who wants a static IP can handle editing the 4 lines of code required for changing to static IP.

I understand. but if you get comments about it taking forever to connect this will help

This makes my ESP connect is two dots and without it sometimes takes minutes.

// Static IP address for the nodeMCU
// uncomment the below WIFI_STATIC_IP for a static IP and faster reconnects
//#define WIFI_STATIC_IP
//IPAddress ip(10, 1, 1, 190);
//IPAddress gateway(10, 1, 1, 1);
//IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);

and below add

ifdef WIFI_STATIC_IP
WiFi.config(ip, gateway, subnet);
#endif

above

WiFi.persistent(false);
WiFi.hostname(USER_MQTT_CLIENT_NAME);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
