Use if-addrs instead of local_ip_address (#8659)

Swaps out the `local_ip_address` dependency for `if-addrs`. The reason for this is that is that `local_ip_address` is a relatively heavy dependency (depends on `neli`) compared to `if-addrs` and we only use it to check the presence of an IPv6 interface. This is an experiment to see if we can use the more lightweight `if-addrs` instead.
