Ryan Malloy 0905aa4bf8 Add exponential backoff to MQTT reconnection

Instead of fixed 5s/30s retry intervals, implement exponential backoff:
- Initial delay: 1 second
- Max delay: 60 seconds
- Doubles on each failed attempt
- Resets to minimum on successful connection

This prevents hammering a down broker while still reconnecting
quickly when the issue is transient.

Also includes fix for WiFiState/NetworkState enum mismatch in
getWiFiStatus() which was already on main.
