Subject: [PATCH] Fixed linux interface discovery using getifaddrs

Unlike dhcp 3.x, dhcp 4.x scans interfaces from /proc/net/dev,
which provides only true interface names. When the address set
on the interface has a label assigned (linux 2.0 alias interface
compatibility), then the SIOCGIFADDR requires the label / alias
name as argument instead of the interface name to return this
address. When this is the only address assigned to an interface,
dhcp-server is unable to find any address and fails to start.

Changed to use getifaddrs() function, which retrieves all IP
addresses on linux systems and is available since GLIBC 2.3.
