Description

In the share extension, when the user is offline, let's put a better message on the site picker screen than "no available sites":

Also, when the user activates the refresh control, the error text shifts down. To reproduce:

  1. Go into airplane mode
  2. Try to share a photo through the new share extension
  3. Reach the site selector
  4. See “No available sites” as we’re offline
  5. Drag down to refresh the list

The label moves down a bit and stays there no matter how many times I drag down to refresh.
