feat: show 'Connecting' instead of 'Offline' on page load

- Display 'Connecting' with spinner for first 4 seconds after page load
- Give relays time to establish connections before showing 'Offline'
- Immediately switch to normal state once any relay connects
- Better UX - most refreshes aren't actually offline, just connecting
