[BUG] `_boot_to_anaconda` doesn't handle closest mirror gracefully in 8.5

Describe the bug
Rocky 8.5 added a closest mirror capability to the anaconda installer. Since Rocky installer starts without network connected the closest mirror automatic resolution fails and changes the icon for the Software Selection even when a local media (ie. ISO) is being used. This can prevent detection of the anaconda_main_hub and block the installation.

Steps to reproduce

% openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=Rocky-8.5-x86_64-boot.iso \
  ARCH=x86_64 DISTRI=rocky FLAVOR=minimal-iso \
  VERSION=8.5 BUILD="-minimal-iso-$(date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S).0"

Expected behavior
_boot_to_anaconda should detect this condition and allow the installation to proceed where the network interface will be activated in a later step and the closest mirror can be detected.
