bug#31167: 27.0.50; When the computer has no network connection, Emacs can take minutes to start

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

And that obviously sucks, especially when you're trying to set up a new
machine.

I think the way to reproduce this error is to have the network
configured, but not actually working.  I suspect that Emacs is doing
some DNS stuff at startup that it shouldn't be doing.
