Pull Request Overview
This PR enhances internet connectivity checking in the installer by adding fallback ping tests when the primary HTTP check fails. This addresses accessibility issues in censored countries where the main CachyOS website may be blocked due to Cloudflare proxy usage.
- Restructures connectivity check to try HTTP first, then fallback to ping tests
- Adds ping tests to three reliable DNS servers (Google, Cloudflare, Quad9)
- Improves connectivity detection reliability in restrictive network environments

In censored countries it is often not possible to ping "cachyos.org" since we are using cloudflare proxy for the website.
Add a fallback ping of 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare), 8.8.8.8 (Cloudflare), 9.9.9.9 (Quad 9) for the internet check
