DRAFT: goa: Check connectivity, not presence of a default route

Will Thompson requested to merge wip/goa-network-monitor-connectivity into master

g_network_monitor_get_network_available() just indicates that there is a default route for at least one of IPv4 or IPv6, not that the wider internet can be reached. If you are behind a captive portal, or are on a network not connected to the wider internet, then you will not in fact be able to log into your Google account.

Instead, monitor the connectivity property, which gives a more nuanced view of the situation.
