Subject: [PATCH] fix: MQTT connection on Portduino/Linux native nodes (#10330)

isConnectedToNetwork() always returned false on ARCH_PORTDUINO
because none of HAS_WIFI, HAS_ETHERNET, or USE_WS5500 are defined
for Linux native builds. This caused wantsLink() to always return
false, preventing the MQTT thread from ever connecting at boot.

Fix: return true for ARCH_PORTDUINO since Linux always has network
access available.
