[Ovmsdev] System date set?

Although apparent in SNTP, I think the core issue here is in ovms_netmanager.
When wifi goes down, that issued a network.reconfigured event followed by a network.down event. The network.reconfigured causes a stop/start of sntp and I guess there is a race condition there.
Best fix is to change ovms_netmanager so that network.reconfigured is NOT issued if the network is down (only if say two networks were up, and one went down, so one is still up).
I’ve also moved the SNTP init code into module startup (rather than network availability) to try to work around the race condition in SNTP.

The issue I am hitting is finding out when the time has actually been set. It seems that LWIP SNTP doesn’t provide any facility to expose that. There is a macro SNTP_SET_SYSTEM_TIME_US that is defined in the Espressif LWIP options file as:
