Feature Request: reduce timeout for the 'Checking internet connectivity' check

[larsbu]

During a conversion from CentOS7 to RHEL7 I noticed that the timeout of the internet connectivity check took some time:

[2024-01-25T06:16:38+0000] DEBUG - Booted kernel VRA (version, release, architecture): 3.10.0-1160.102.1.el7.x86_64
Checking internet connectivity using address 'https://static.redhat.com/test/rhel-networkmanager.txt'.
WARNING - There was a problem while trying to connect to 'https://static.redhat.com/test/rhel-networkmanager.txt' to check internet connectivity. This could be due to the host being offline, or the network blocking access to the endpoint... Some checks and actions will be skipped.
[2024-01-25T06:18:46+0000] DEBUG - Failed to retrieve data from host, reason: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable

It is possible to lower the timeout?
15-20 seconds should be sufficient.

Version: convert2rhel-1.6.1-1.el7
Location: systeminfo.py, _check_internet_access

Maybe using the timeout option?

Good suggestion! Can you submit a PR for the patch as well?
