[Ovmsdev] Reducing wifi/netmanager log messages

[Stephen Casner]

Yes, my unit is set to connect only to my home network.  But even when
set to scan it is unlikely to connect while driving.

Rather than suppressing the netmanager work I was proposing to just
suppress the messages if they would repeat from the previous time.
