New description:
To get a list of network interfaces, we use platform-specific API
(`GetAdaptersAddresses()`) on Windows and `getifaddrs()` on Unix/Linux if
possible. Failing that, Tor can also call `ioctl()`.
On Darwin, there's a platform API to get and enumerate network interfaces.
See:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/systemconfiguration/1517090-scnetworkinterfacecopyall?language=objc
We should experiment with that and decide if we want to use it as a
primary way to get network interfaces on macOS/iOS.
