[wifi] Fix roaming attempt counter reset on disconnect during scan

When WiFi disconnects while a roaming scan is in progress, the
SCANNING state was transitioning to IDLE in retry_connect(). When the
device then reconnected, check_connecting_finished() treated the IDLE
state as a normal connection and reset roaming_attempts_ to 0. This
caused the roaming counter to perpetually restart at 1/3 instead of
progressing to 2/3, 3/3, creating an infinite loop of roaming scans
every 5 minutes.

This is most likely to occur on ESP8266 where disconnect callbacks
run immediately in SDK system context (setting error_from_callback_
before the main loop can process scan results), compared to ESP32 IDF
where events are queued and the scan-done event is typically processed
before the disconnect.

Fix by transitioning to RECONNECTING instead of IDLE when a disconnect
occurs during SCANNING. This preserves the attempts counter on
successful reconnection, allowing the device to reach the 3-attempt
limit and stop scanning.
