    Add monitor for detecting network blockage. · 190a6a07

    Since we enable MAC spoofing by default, users may experience network
    connection issues on networks emplying MAC address blocking.
    Unfortunately NetworkManager does not seem to offer any nice hook into
    its error-handling, so when MAC spoofing is enabled we run (from T-G)
    this crufty script which analyzes NM's log and tries to identify
    connection failures that is unrelated to more common errors, like
    entering an incorrect WPA passphrase. At the moment the script only
    handles wifi networks, not wired, WAN, etc.
