Clear showWelcomePage before the first server start.

On an Ethernet-only boot, showWelcomePage can be set to true after Ethernet initialization. The first handleConnection() call then starts the AP server through initConnection() and returns before the Ethernet check at line 1050. A request to / during this interval can receive the welcome page. Clear the flag in the initial connection path.

Suggested fix 
     selectedWiFi = findWiFi(); // find strongest WiFi
+    if (WLEDNetwork.isEthernet()) showWelcomePage = false;
     initConnection();

Review comment at @wled00/wled.cpp at line 1050:
Clear showWelcomePage in the initial connection path before initConnection()
starts the server, using the Ethernet check already present in the connection
flow. Locate this path in handleConnection and ensure Ethernet-only boots cannot
serve the welcome page during the first server start.

This is a quite strange case syntax. Normally you don't need the braces.

I was not sure which syntax i should use, so i just followed the syntax from some lines above:

WLED/wled00/wled_server.cpp

Lines 861 to 865 in 2b116e1

case SUBPAGE_LOCK : {
correctPIN = !strlen(settingsPIN); // lock if a pin is set
serveMessage(request, 200, strlen(settingsPIN) > 0 ? PSTR("Settings locked") : PSTR("No PIN set"), FPSTR(s_redirecting), 1);
return;
}

content = PAGE_welcome;
len = PAGE_welcome_length;
eTagSuffix = 0xFFFF;
break;
}
default: content = PAGE_settings; len = PAGE_settings_length; break;
}
handleStaticContent(request, "", code, contentType, content, len);
handleStaticContent(request, "", code, contentType, content, len, true, eTagSuffix);
}
