Shill incorrectly remains online state when portal provider disconnects device

Project Member Reported by warx@chromium.org, Jun 7 2017

Issue description

tot Chrome 61.0.3124.0
Platform 9515.0.0

Precondition: chromebook successfully connects to internet through captive portal wifi.
Then, portal wifi provider disconnects device through admin page.

We will see chrome portal detection reports portal status, but shill still reports online, thus there is no network connection state change.

From Shill service state machine, it seems there is no Online to Portal state transition: https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/network-portal-detection
 
Components: OS>Systems>Network
This seems more like a design limitation than a bug.  How would shill know that the portal has cut off internet access?

A related question came up in this document:

Maybe what we want is for Chrome to notice that HTTP is returning unexpected redirects / portal landing pages, or that HTTPS is seeing bad certs that match a known pattern.  Then it could re-initiate another portal check.

yes, I think shill is hardly getting to know this change.

I put a workaround in the CL: https://codereview.chromium.org/2923343004/ temporarily for not letting  issue 705813  block issue 702273.
