Add new info from connman.net server admin to README.
Mention the online check in the manual so that end users have a reference why
the client
opens an external route.

Hi Daniel,
I just send it again based on -m bla. Hope it works better as I cannot git
send-email directly at current.
As I wrote in another message, I'll be glad to update it further on
functionality changes, maybe
even move it to a separate onlinecheck.txt doc then.
Have a good travel.
Regards,
Ingo
