app: Surface Ethernet uplink in the UI and gate wpa_supplicant access

When the configured Ethernet interface holds a DHCP-assigned IPv4 at
startup, the app now skips wifi.Initialize / StartEventMonitoring and
guards every wifi.* wrapper against a nil backend. This prevents D-Bus
calls to fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1 from re-activating the daemon via
dbus-activation, honoring the "do nothing" intent of the Ethernet path.

The probed state is exposed in SystemStatus and rendered in the header
as a third pill ("Ethernet · <IP>"); a new "disabled" connectionState
covers the WiFi pill in this mode.
