Cloud storage: check connection before connecting

libgit2 takes forever (a minute or so) to figure out that it can't connect
to a remote server.
So if we are using https as connection protocol, quickly check utilizing
RFCs 2324/7168 to make sure we can reach the cloud server (and not some
captive portal or something).
