Bug description

The code that parses the network properties and serves the content of the WiFi client page sets the protocol property's value to 'OPEN' in all-capital letters:

• raspap-webgui/src/RaspAP/Networking/Hotspot/WiFiManager.php

  Line 130 in db9ca93

  'protocol' => $current['security'] ?? 'OPEN',

• raspap-webgui/src/RaspAP/Networking/Hotspot/WiFiManager.php

  Line 152 in db9ca93

  'security' => 'OPEN'

However, the code that consumes and handles the actions of the WiFi client page compares to 'Open' in

This fails and leads to the behaviour described in the title.

I think a constant should be introduced to get both parts in sync.
Uppercase presentation for UI purpose should/could be done in the template.

Steps to reproduce

Try to add an open network.
Will ask for WPA passphrase.
