Wifi monitoring

Would like to suggest a modification for the Pocket Edition

At present there is no visual indication on the screen to indicate when the atm is paired with the router.
A simple symbol to indicate connectivity (T) would be useful.
If the wifi connection fails due to no signal from the router (power out or internet down) it would be useful to have a OUT OF SERVICE screen image.
The Rpi will automatically try to reconnect with the router and when the connection is restablished the screen changes to display the WELCOME message.
This should ensure that a user will not put in coins or attempt to use the atm when there is no connectivity, and would improve user experience.

The implementation causes the pi to freeze. We had to comment #38 out.
