Availability reporting - do not log offline when the computer is off

[rqueizan]

I'm going to put it in context:
If at 11 PM I turn off the computer, at which time the Internet is not available. I turn it on in the morning at 8 AM with internet available. In the statistics it reports me without Internet from 12 AM to 8 AM. Reporting a very low percentage of availability, although I have just turned on the computer.

If, on the contrary, at 11PM I turn off the computer while I had the Internet available. I turn it on at 8 AM with internet available. In the statistics it reports 100% availability, which is closer to reality.

I believe that on a day-to-day basis you should take the first Internet connection as a point of reference, and not assume that it was previously available or not, which I think is what is happening. Or if you're going to assume it, take it as available by default.

@rqueizan thanks for the report! This is how the extension works now and how it was intended to work, so I'm converting this to a feature request. It would require some additional logic to understand if the computer is off VS internet is down. I'll think about it

Related to #100 - which is the same idea, but for On/Off ICM state

My idea of the situation would be to take the first reading of the day as a starting point for the rest of the calculations.
If at that moment of time there is no Internet, start counting the time without Internet service. If, on the other hand, there is Internet, start counting time with Internet service.
This would prevent miscalculation and ensure more accuracy in the data.

There should be an extra status "No data" which will indicate that ICM is not monitoring the status and these periods should be excluded from the availability calculation

To test: when computer is in sleep, there may be a lot of missing data periods

Exactly what I was thinking!
