bug#37005: Add ability of modifying connection before full installation

[zimoun]

Hi installer team, :-)

Well, the question is: does you think it is doable to add some network
configuration (if it is not already the case) in the installer?

User could set some IP, DNS, Gateway and friends before or after network
checking or automatic configuration.

For context, it is bug#37005 [1].
