Add new slave_wifi_rest_api example: REST Wi-Fi control based on original slave (IDFGH-16209) #860
Conversation
Introduces a new example 'slave_wifi_rest_api' for the eppp_link component, providing a REST API for Wi-Fi management (status, scan, connect, disconnect) and a ready-to-use HTML web panel. Includes CMake, Kconfig, and configuration files for multiple transports, as well as implementation for both direct and channel-based Wi-Fi control. Enables dynamic Wi-Fi reconfiguration and CORS support for browser-based management.
Added a link to the original example and updated the web UI reference to point to the web panel documentation for better navigation and clarity.
Revised links in the main and webPanel README files to reference the correct documentation and improve navigation. This enhances clarity for users following setup and usage instructions.
Fixed and clarified relative links in the main and webPanel README files for better navigation and accuracy.
Revised the README title to clarify that the example is based on eppp_link/slave, improving documentation accuracy.

Excellent idea with the REST API! Thanks for adding this example (already thinking about some future improvements, e.g. https or running a client on the host side).
The only thing is that code duplication -- this is largely a copy of the original example, not sure how to handle it tho -- probably better to keep in a separate example (and suggested removal of that channel option)

Suggest removing this option in this example (just to simplify it and focus on what's important)
- that would also remove the Kconfig option and the source
channel_wifi_station.c
