fix(vp): populate bind-interface list on macOS (route non-Linux to psutil)

    get_network_interfaces() only sent Windows to the psutil path; macOS fell into
    the Linux ioctl branch, whose SIOCGIFADDR/SIOCGIFNETMASK ioctls are Linux-only.
    macOS/BSD have fcntl but different ioctl numbers, so every call raised OSError
    and the function returned an empty list — the VP bind-interface dropdown showed
    nothing. Route all non-Linux platforms through the cross-platform psutil path.
