fix(vp): populate bind-interface list on macOS (route non-Linux to psutil)

get_network_interfaces() only sent Windows to the psutil path; macOS fell into
    the Linux ioctl branch, whose SIOCGIFADDR/SIOCGIFNETMASK ioctls are Linux-only.
    macOS/BSD have fcntl but different ioctl numbers, so every call raised OSError
    and the function returned an empty list — the VP bind-interface dropdown showed
    nothing. Route all non-Linux platforms through the cross-platform psutil path.

"""Non-Linux path (Windows, macOS, BSD): enumerate interfaces via psutil.
fcntl + ioctl is Linux-only, and the ``ip`` command isn't available
on Windows either, so both Linux code paths return empty here. psutil
is already a Bambuddy dep (``psutil>=6.0.0``) and gives us cross-
platform name + IPv4 + netmask in one call.
The ioctl request numbers in the Linux path (SIOCGIFADDR 0x8915,
SIOCGIFNETMASK 0x891B) and the sockaddr layout they return are
Linux-specific. On macOS/BSD ``fcntl`` still imports, so those ioctls
don't raise ImportError — they raise ``OSError`` per interface and the
Linux path silently returns an empty list (no VP bind interfaces).
Windows has no ``fcntl``/``ip`` at all. psutil is already a Bambuddy dep
(``psutil>=6.0.0``) and gives cross-platform name + IPv4 + netmask in one
call, so we use it for everything that isn't Linux.
Filters: IPv4 only (matches the Linux path), skip loopback and
link-local (169.254.0.0/16), skip interfaces psutil reports as down.
No name-based exclusion — users on Windows may legitimately want to
bind a VP to a Hyper-V / WSL / Tailscale virtual adapter.
