NetworkStatus: Use the network API
Use the Network API instead of querying the net_stack via socket.

Fix BAboutWindow lifecycle

BAboutWindow returned false in QuitRequested in order to hide instead of closing.
Not only this keeps a BLooper running for a rarely used window, but it also
prevents quitting an application in the window was not destroyed first.

* Remove aforementioned QuitRequested method,
* Add a static GetWindow method that returns the existing about window, if there
is one, or creates one if there is not. A boolean can be set to tell the caller
what happened,
* Adjust all callers to use that new method, instead of managing the window themselves.

Rework NetworkStatus to use a non-modal BAboutWindow

Rework NetworkStatus's status tracking a bit.

NetworkStatus now tracks the status of each interface separately, and
uses that information to make correct comparisons for notifications.
Previously, it would only send notifications using whatever interface
was last in the enumeration list, and if an earlier interface had a higher
configuration level than that, the notification would incorrectly be sent
as occurring on the last interface. We now send notifications for each
interface separately. The status shown by the deskbar icon remains that
of the most highly configured detected interface. Fixes #8468.

networkstatus: Scale icon to large and small sizes

* This gives us a nice status icon to use for
notification messages.

network status: Add notifications for major network events

* Add a notification if the network interface monitored by
the system tray icon has a major state change.
* This gives users a little feedback on connection state.
* User is only prompted once on each state change.
* TODO: change system tray icons to vector so we can scale
them up better.

* Removed the polling of the network status; instead, it now uses the new
network notifications.
* It also doesn't keep a socket open over the whole time which would prevent
the network stack to be unloaded.

Applied patch by Dario Casalinuovo with some changes by myself:
The NetworkStatus applet is now able to launch the Network preferences via
its contex menu.

* Moved the network status replicant into its own application, similar to what
ProcessController and PowerStatus are doing.
* Currently polls for info only - later, the stack should support listeners for
interface related changes.
* Also works under BONE (although it doesn't make much sense to use it there).
