Adding softAP SSID & PSK query API (esp8266#4138)

* softAP SSID & PSK query API added.
Signatures:
String ESP8266WiFiAP::softAPSSID() const;
String ESP8266WiFiAP::softAPPSK() const;

* Fix for proper C-style string copy

* add API to validate input ip as string
Signatures:
static bool IPAddress::isValid(const String& arg);
static bool IPAddress::isValid(const char* arg, size_t len);

* fix indentation

* fix ip string validation to use built-in implementation.
signatures:
static bool isValid(const String& arg);
static bool isValid(const char* arg);
