Pull request overview

Implements multi-client reconnect support for STA management tests by tracking disconnect/reconnect state per connected client and updating STA manager operations to use per-client interface/vap details during disconnect/reconnect flows.

Changes:

• Move reconnect state (is_disconnection_sent, reconnect_timer) from sta_test_t to connected_client_info_t to support multi-client behavior.
• Update STA management timeout/frame-filter logic to reconnect/disconnect clients individually.
• Update STA manager disconnect/remove/reconnect paths to use client-specific VAP index/info and improve logging.

• For open security, association is detected via assoc_resp but is_disconnection_sent (and the per-client reconnect_timer) are not cleared. With reconnect enabled this can cause the client to be treated as still disconnected and repeatedly reconnected. Clear these fields on successful association for both open (assoc_resp) and secured (eapol-msg3) cases.
