Bug Description
As my laptop is pretty frequently not connected to a network, it's a bit annoying to watch Do's logs fill up with the many failed connections the various internet-connecting plugins attempt. All platforms should have some way of determining whether a network is available, so we should have some sort of network-status available in Do.Platform, with a NetworkManager implementation in Do.Platform.Linux so plugins can check whether a network is available before doing network stuff.

I recently have had another idea and it seems related so I put it here: maybe the Universe Manager can be aware of the Internet status. When there is not Internet, it won't update any item source which will involve Internet access; This requires the item source to have extra property telling UM if they needs Internet access during updating. Regarding how UM can know about the network status, maybe the system-wide NetworkManager can provide some information over DBus?
