As explained in #1023, deferable-reboot was developed in two pieces, the main one on this repository and a very useful piece in the LibreRouterOS repository.
Without the second piece, the routers would just reboot every 27 hours, annoying.
With the second piece, the routers are checking the internet connectivity every 3 minutes (by means of a ping to a known IP on the internet) and the reboot is deferred by 13 minutes if the ping is successful.
With this PR, the second piece is also included in the deferable-reboot package in this repository.
The IP to be pinged has been de-hardcoded and moved to the LibreMesh configuration files in the system section.
The chosen IP is one of the ones being used as DNS:
