NetworkManager configuration to enable connectivity checking

This package contains a configuration file which enables NetworkManager's
connectivity checking functionality.
NetworkManager asks http://connectivity.cyclop-tech.com/check, a server run
by Cyclop Technologies, every five minutes and expects an empty HTTP 204
answer. The file is named 99- so that it wins over the Ubuntu
connectivity configuration when both are installed.
This is particularly useful for captive portal detection.
No user data is transmitted in the connectivity checks, but merely contacting
the Cyclop OS connectivity check servers reveals that the user is running Cyclop OS
with NetworkManager.
Install
sudo apt install network-manager-config-connectivity-cyclop
Available to everyone from the Cyclop OS Community repository.
