Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/1672

In my projects, the WiFi scan triggered when starting the CP disturbs required network traffic between devices, especially during boot. Setting _preloadwifiscan to false does avoid this, but I would like avoid my users having to patch the WiFiManager library source code when compiling my projects.

Adding a simple, public setPreLoadWiFi(bool) would really help.

Yeah I am about to turn that off by default it was experimental and does make the page come up faster, but can also be problematic when joining or using ondemand and trying to join immediatly.
