esp32/network_wlan: Wait for STA/AP START/STOP event in wlan.active.

This is a fix for commit bccbaa92b1fc6237f0f49a7f07cc194835fbf4e3:
- Should only wait for WIFI_EVENT_STA_START when invoked on the STA_IF
  interface.
- The WIFI_EVENT_STA_START event is generated every time the STA_IF
  interface is set active(True) and it was previously inactive, ie. not
  only after calling esp_wifi_start().
- Also wait for WIFI_EVENT_STA_STOP when deactivating the interface.
- Also wait for relevant AP events.

Fixes issue #11910.
