Reactor Scram e6cbb5fa8a feat(gui-client/linux): network roaming (#5978 )

Closes #5846 

Will be moved down to the IPC service eventually.

The goal for connection roaming is not for totally transparent "Change
Wi-Fi networks without dropping SSH" handoffs, but just for Firezone to
re-connect itself as quickly as possible so that everything above us can
re-connect as quickly as it times out, and won't be hung up with a
broken tunnel.

Network roaming

Given Ethernet and 2 Wi-Fi networks "A" and "B", this test cycle exercises all interesting combos of:

Connecting and disconnecting Ethernet and Wi-Fi, while the other is connected and disconnected
Roaming from one Wi-Fi network to another
Steady-state network connections

Cycle:

Steady on A
Change to B
Disconnect Wi-Fi
Steady offline
Connect to A
Connect Eth
Steady on Eth + A
Change to B
Disconnect Wi-Fi
Steady on Eth
Disconnect Eth
Connect Eth
Connect to Wi-Fi A
Disconnect Eth

For each step:

Make the change. (e.g. click on the Wi-Fi network, or connect / disconnect the Ethernet plug)
Wait for the OS to reflect the change. (e.g. "Connected to Wi-Fi A" pop-up)
Run time curl -4 --silent --max-time 30 https://ifconfig.net/ip.
Ensure that you see the Gateway's IP and not your Wi-Fi's external IP.
Note how long it took curl to return success or failure.
