Currently the autoupdater stops network prior starting the sysupgrade
process.
This has the issue of leaving the device in a state with stopped network
in case the sysupgrade process fails, as execl does not spawn a
subprocess but instead replaces the current process with another one, in
our case the sysupgrade process.
This commit modifies the autoupdater behavior in a way it starts
sysupgrade in test mode prior stopping network. This way, common causes
for failing the sysupgrade process can be detected in a
remote-recoverable manner, most prominently a failed platform check /
incompatible images.
