[arm-allstar] Announce when Internet is lost

[Dave Petrie]

ok i changed the internet.sh and chmod +x and i got the online announcement
every minute
so i unplugged the ethernet to the raspberry and got nothing and waited for
three minutes
then plugged ethernet back in and got three plays of online announcement
and am still
getting it every minute, i like to tinker but don't want to keep you up all
night

maybe a different way to look at it if i can get the offline to work and
the online is
working right now every minute
maybe command the ct= in rpt to change depending on what state
so that the only way i will know there is internet or no internet is to hear
the courtesy tone change depending on the state but only if i key up the
repeater
