  Method used by PropertyConverters.BindInterface to check that a bind_address is consistent with a specified interface Idea: 1. We are passed a bind_addr, which may be null 2. If non-null, check that bind_addr is on bind_interface - if not, throw exception, otherwise, return the original bind_addr 3. If null, get first non-loopback address on bind_interface, using stack preference to get the IP version. If no non-loopback address, then just return null (i.e. the bind_interface did not influence the decision).

  Throws:
    `java.net.UnknownHostException`
    `java.net.SocketException`
