[Bug 997200] Re: Test for captive portal before putting applications in online mode

[Aron Xu]

Just did some testing with up-to-date 16.04 LTS:

1. Initial state:
Wi-Fi enabled, but not connected to any network; ethernet is unplugged.

$ nmcli general 
STATE         CONNECTIVITY  WIFI-HW  WIFI     WWAN-HW  WWAN    
disconnected  none          enabled  enabled  enabled  enabled

2. Connect to a SSID that has captive portal:
$ nmcli general 
STATE      CONNECTIVITY  WIFI-HW  WIFI     WWAN-HW  WWAN    
connected  full          enabled  enabled  enabled  enabled

This means network-manager has put the state to connected and emits a
signal of full connectivity, which makes other applications "think" the
device is online with full access to the Internet.
