Use WIFI_FAST_SCAN if a specific channel was used (#5975)

1.0.6 changed scanning method to always scan all available channels during connect. This results in results in connect taking about ~3 seconds instead of ~1. This patch changes the behavior to use WIFI_FAST_SCAN if client used a specific channel.
