Various Wi-Fi QoL improvements (#6424)
* Revamped most actions that require an internet connection to a new/fixed backend that allows forwarding the initial action and running it automatically once connected. (i.e., it'll allow you to set "Action when Wi-Fi is off" to "turn_on", and whatch stuff connect and do what you wanted automatically without having to re-click anywhere instead of showing you a Wi-Fi prompt and then not doing anything without any other feedback).
* Speaking of, fixed the "turn_on" beforeWifi action to, well, actually work. It's no longer marked as experimental.
* Consistently use "Wi-Fi" everywhere.
* On Kobo/Cervantes/Sony, implemented a "Kill Wi-Fi connection when inactive" system that will automatically disconnect from Wi-Fi after sustained *network* inactivity (i.e., you can keep reading, it'll eventually turn off on its own). This should be smart and flexible enough not to murder Wi-Fi while you need it, while still not keeping it uselessly on and murdering your battery.
(i.e., enable that + turn Wi-Fi on when off and enjoy never having to bother about Wi-Fi ever again).
* Made sending `NetworkConnected` / `NetworkDisconnected` events consistent (they were only being sent... sometimes, which made relying on 'em somewhat problematic).
* restoreWifiAsync is now only run when really needed (i.e., we no longer stomp on an existing working connection just for the hell of it).
* We no longer attempt to kill a bogus non-existent Wi-Fi connection when going to suspend, we only do it when it's actually needed.
* Every method of enabling Wi-Fi will now properly tear down Wi-Fi on failure, instead of leaving it in an undefined state.
* Fixed an issue in the fancy crash screen on Kobo/reMarkable that could sometime lead to the log excerpt being missing.
* Worked-around a number of sneaky issues related to low-level Wi-Fi/DHCP/DNS handling on Kobo (see the lengthy comments [below](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6424#issuecomment-663881059) for details). Fix #6421 
Incidentally, this should also fix the inconsistencies experienced re: Wi-Fi behavior in Nickel when toggling between KOReader and Nickel (use NM/KFMon, and run a current FW for best results).
* For developers, this involves various cleanups around NetworkMgr and NetworkListener. Documentation is in-line, above the concerned functions.

# General
When connected to Wi-Fi you can find the IP address and root password for your
reMarkable in Settings -> About, then scroll down the GPLv3 compliance on the
right (finger drag scroll, not the page forward/back buttons). This should also
work for the USB network you get if you connect the reMarkable to your computer
with a USB cable.
# Install
scp <koreader-package>.zip root@<your-remarkable>:
ssh root@<your-remarkable>
unzip <koreader-package>.zip
# Launching using the included launcher
KOReader includes a very simple launcher called `button-listen` which starts
KOReader when the middle button is held down for 3 or more seconds in the
default UI (xochitl).
cp -v koreader/*.service /etc/systemd/system/
systemctl enable --now button-listen
To return to the default UI just exit KOReader (swipe down from the top of the
screen, select icon in the top right, Exit, Exit).
Some reMarkable software updates will wipe the new systemd units so you will have
to run the two install steps again when that happens.
# Using a different launcher
The command that the launcher needs to run is:
/home/root/koreader/koreader.sh
Alternatively, if you want the default behaviour of KOReader exit starting the
default UI you can run (once on installation):
cp -v koreader/koreader.service /etc/systemd/system/
Then to start KOReader the launcher needs to run:
systemctl start koreader
