test: enable `rpc_bind` on macOS and BSD

`rpc_bind` uses `all_interfaces` to find a non-loopback IPv4 address and `get_bind_addrs` to verify the node's listening sockets.
Add `all_interfaces` support for macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD using `ifconfig -au`, switch the test to the POSIX platform guard so it runs there too, and fail early if no IPv4 interfaces are returned.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes Bitcoin Core's internal test code. It expands an existing test so it can run on macOS and BSD systems, and adds a helper function that reads network interface information from the operating system. There is no change to the actual Bitcoin node software that users run, and nothing in the commit introduces a security vulnerability or fixes one.

Recommended action

No security action needed. This is a test-infrastructure change; normal code review and CI verification are sufficient.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
