Redesign the network configuration and startup

Originally created by @sajolida on #10491 (Redmine)

Building up on our reflections on the Greeter, the Tor progress bar (#7437 (closed)), the persistent Tor configuration (#5462), the time synchronization (#5774), the whole process of deciding how to connect to the network and based on that getting a working Tor should be redesigned as a whole.

While working on this we should be careful about the different aspects mentioned above, their technical feasibility, and how we could propose an incremental process.
