btcutil: export interfaceAddr
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply renames a small helper function from interfaceAddrs to InterfaceAddrs, making it usable by other packages. It does not change any behavior, fix a bug, or alter security logic.
No security action needed. Treat as a routine API visibility refactor.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch exports the btcutil.interfaceAddrs helper as InterfaceAddrs so it can be called from outside the btcutil package. The implementation still delegates directly to net.InterfaceAddrs(). The only caller inside btcutil (NewTLSCertPair) is updated to use the new exported name. There is no functional change.
