IPv6 support for getting node IP
As part of ChooseHostInterface(), it will call a function to try to get the
global IP for the host, by looking at all the system interfaces and select
the first IP that is not a loopback, link-local, or point-to-point IP.
This commit does the following:
- Allows IPv6 non-local IPs to be selected.
- IPv4 takes priority (checks all interfaces for IPv4 addresses and
then checks all interfaces for IPv6), for backward compatibility.
- Adds UTs for code coverage (was no coverage of underlying function),
increasing from 62% to 85%.
- Improved logging and reporting for error conditions.
- Minor renaming of functions and variables for readability.
