In addition to binding to IP addresses, allow non-Windows systems to select the network interface by name. Also add support for prefixes, similar to curl's --interface syntax.

Resolves #6861

@Nogesma please check and see if this successfully resolves your issue.

Quick check:
urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection.default_socket_options exists on urllib3==2.0.0, our min version requirement (I previously only checked the latest version).

Yes this works!

Could you please check with and without the prefixes and report back? I currently don't have more than one network interface set up, so testing it myself is a bit annoying. Thanks.

Yep it all works fine, with the exception of host! with an ip that's valid on two interfaces, where it will just hang after this [plugins.twitch][debug] Getting live HLS streams for .... But this matches the behavior before this PR, and using if! or ifhost! to specify the interface works fine.
