A quality of life feature. Instead of just writing a canned value such as "enp0s3" in the default config, we should instead take stock of what we have on the machine and make a good guess for what interface is likely to be used.

Election process

Something like the following filters from first to last until there is only one interface left. If multiple left at the end, then just pick one.

Find all interfaces
Look for ethernet interfaces
Look for up interfaces
Look for IP interfaces
Look for non-RFC1918 interfaces
First / random selection
