Adds a status menu to the OS X menu bar showing the current ping time to google.com

Was sitting on a train tethering, the connection was going in and out, I wanted to see at a glance the status of the connection. I now use this whenever I’m on a flaky connection.

It sends a ping to google.com every 5 seconds:

• If the ping failed, changes the menu text color to red
• If the ping is taking more than 100ms longer than the last one, menu text color turns yellow
• When the ping succeeds, change menu color to black and show the ping time.

Also shows some stats if you select the menu.

• Maybe attempt DNS lookups to test the DNS server
