app: Detect Ethernet uplink via default route, not address flags

probeEthernet looked for a "DHCP-assigned" address using the `dynamic`
flag or a finite `valid_lft`. udhcpc (BusyBox) installs the leased
address with a plain `ip addr add` and no lease lifetime, so the address
shows `valid_lft forever` and no `dynamic` flag — indistinguishable from
a static LAN/hotspot address on the same interface. The uplink was never
recognized and wpa_supplicant was started despite working connectivity.

Detect the uplink via the interface's default route instead, which is
reliable across udhcpc and full iproute2, and report the uplink source
address from `ip route get` so the UI shows the DHCP address rather than
a co-located static one.
