This adds a small helper, similar in style to local_addresses() and local_gateways() that determines the local "outbound" addresses. What's an "outbound" address supposed to be? The local IP addresses that are the most likely used for outbound communication. It's determined by using connect() towards the default gws on an UDP socket, and then reading the address of the socket this caused it to be bound to. This is not the "public" or "external" IP address of the local system, and is not supposed to be. It's just the local IP addresses that are likely the ones going to be used by the local IP stack for communication with other hosts.
