Reverts merge ae045395 (feat/flex-ipv6, PR #25). Enabling IPv6 joins the
device into IPv6 multicast/ND processing; on multicast-heavy LANs (e.g.
with a Thread/Matter border router advertising a ULA prefix) inbound
bursts land in dynamic WiFi RX buffers in internal heap. Measured on a
Station G2 with 4 WSS brokers: min-free floor dropped 36 KB -> 18 KB,
largest free block pinned below the 16 KB publish threshold for minutes
at a time, 523 dropped publishes in 15 minutes. With IPv6 disabled the
floor and max-alloc recovered and publish skips stopped.
The feature only fed the wifi.status display line — no transport uses
IPv6 (all brokers connect over IPv4), so the fleet risk (network-
dependent degradation on unknown home LANs) buys nothing. Revisit after
the Arduino core 3.x / IDF 5.x move if IPv6 transport is ever needed;
the branch remains at feat/flex-ipv6.
Kept from the merge: the wifi.status uptime append now computes the
actual remaining space in the 160-byte reply buffer instead of assuming
a hardcoded 128, fixing a latent overflow of the snprintf bound.
