Summary0017652: Update api to get internet connection state
DescriptionWe have always used InternetGetConnectedState in wininet.dll ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winineti/nf-winineti-internetgetconnectedstate )
for getting internet connection state.

But
1) Using this API is no longer recommended, we should use the INetworkListManager::GetConnectivity method instead
2) For some users the internetGetConnectedState returns FALSE (even when they are connected to internet)

Verified 2322

Left Resolved till user confirms.

Test Note: Best test is using Wired connection as that way you can simply disconnect cable so that Windows shows globe icon (Unknown Network for some time) or Use router/switch to block internet access, or even use manual Adapter settings to change DNS/Gateway to simulate interruptions. In some cases Windows takes arround 15 minutes to update Internet status while meantime MM5 works normally, thus some apps report no internet.
