Fix Public IP detection - Fix issue when seeip.org is unreachable #1241…

… (#1243)

The script does work when seeip.org is unreachable, so I changed the policy to define the public IP.

It solves the issue #1241

* Timeout limit on each try to solve the IP to avoid long waits;
* Extra public IP providers as failovers;
* the script only will try to solve an IP if the ENDPOINT is empty;
