Before this patch, WiFi connection was blocking, and could raise exceptions
if the connection failed for any reason (including timeouts). This doesn't
match the behavior of other WiFi modules, which connect asynchronously, and
requires handling of exceptions on connect. This change makes `connect()`
work asynchronously by scheduling code to poll connection status, and
handle reconnects (if needed), and return immediately without blocking.
Instead of being an explicit field, it's now a slot like all the other
methods.
This is a marginal code size improvement because most types have a make_new
(100/138 on PYBV11), however it improves consistency in how types are
declared, removing the special case for make_new.

Originally in drivers/ninaw10/nina_wifi_bsp.c but that isn't a QSTR source.
Also remove outdated commment about root pointers in mpconfigport.h.

This uses MP_REGISTER_ROOT_POINTER() to register mp_wifi_spi, mp_wifi_timer
and mp_wifi_sockpoll_list and removes the same from all mpconfigport.h.
