v1.8.14-4 to fix bugs

### Releases v1.8.14-4

1. Fix bugs by using some unmerged PRs from original WiFiNINA, such as:

 - [WiFi.config - setting defaults as the Ethernet library #219](arduino-libraries/WiFiNINA#219)
 - [Fix WiFiClient watchdog usage #211](arduino-libraries/WiFiNINA#211)
 - [Watchdog trigger changes #208](arduino-libraries/WiFiNINA#208)
 - [added server.accept() #204](arduino-libraries/WiFiNINA#204)
 - [Fix PinStatus error on some platforms #185](arduino-libraries/WiFiNINA#185)
 
2. Add many WiFiMulti-related examples in [WiFiMulti](https://github.com/khoih-prog/WiFiNINA_Generic/tree/master/examples/WiFiMulti)
3. Update examples
4. Update `Packages' Patches`
