captive portal requirement for chormeOS is pain point for end user

Project Member Reported by dchan@google.com, Jun 13 2018

Issue description

ChromeOS require update to the firewall to whitelist "alt*.gstatic.com". ( se https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7623757) is a pain point for end user.

Imagine you are traveling and trying to explain the the front desk that they need to whitelist "alt*.gstatic.com".  I am not sure the reason why this white list is needed, but most other devices do not need this: android, iphone, mac, windows.  To put this responsibility between the front desk and the user is not acceptable.  We need to make this work as good as (or better) then all other counter part.

I believe this should have been fixed with https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=776409 earlier this year.

What build are you running?

aashutoshk@ / dsunkara@ - Please try repro this.
@Danny: Was this on login screen or OOBE? 
If you are hitting http://crbug/776409 you should see something like this in the logs, 
>> ​​2017-09-28T16:24:48.089965-07:00 ERR shill[953]: [ERROR:http_request.cc(188)] Could not resolve hostname alt16.gstatic.com: The network connection was timed out
And network not available(Dinosaur) pop-up while logging in. If not, then this may be an entirely different issue. Can you share logs or a screenshot? 
Also, The help page at https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7623757 is deprecated. The CL's for the captive portal URL randomization were reverted. We should update or remove the support page. 

p.s. I am able to login fine on a captive portal network (Eve-10452.99.0). Will try to repro after getting more details.

Who should own the removal of the support page ?

@mattwerner: Can you look into updating/removing the support page?

Removing UI>Browser>Interstitials because this sounds like a networking issue, not related to the interstitial UI.
