Make a network the default when it connects if we have no default.
When a network comes online, is a candidate for being the default network (i.e. satisfies default NetworkRequest), and the device has no default network, then make the new network the default network for the purposes of routing network traffic. This does not affect NetworkRequests or NetworkCallbacks. This ignores but does not affect network validation. Benefits: 1. Offers a fail-safe in case network validation returns a false negative. For example: It would be nice if every Android device didn't fail when clients3.google.com/generate_204 went down. 2. Offers a method to debug connectivity issues. For example: If WiFi is failing, disabling Cellular would rule out interference from WiFi network validation. 3. Reduces delay between no connectivity and any connectivity. 4. Offers a fail-safe in cases of unreliable networks. For example: You need rescuing from a remote location with a weak signal offering 90% packet loss. You just want your distress call to go out but are infuriated to find network validation blocks connectivity. Change-Id: I78621a1fe8ed2a336591f65bf7b07a6cbcc7ba5e
