Description of the change
By adding a separate package for this config snippet, it enables Ubuntu flavors to easily opt into the NetworkManager connectivity status check by recommending this package. Ubuntu users can easily override the default by installing or uninstalling this package.
I will be proposing this for zesty Feature Freeze Exception and I will bring it up for discussion on the ubuntu-devel list, so let's wait to merge until we get approval.

I have a few questions:
1. Whether the 5-minute checks will congest Canonical's web servers? Or local network operators may see a lot of Ubuntu desktops flooding the same request so frequently.
2. How to deal with caches? Google uses HTTPS + 204 response code, and Apple uses HTTPS + text file. The approach we are using is more likely to the latter one, but it does not support HTTPS.
