ScreenTinker c2033b95fb BrightSign: find the LAN address on any interface, and say when there is none
The dashboard has a "Local IP" field, the server stores it, the bridge relays
it and autorun.brs collects it — the whole path has existed since 1.9.29. It
has never once produced a value for a BrightSign. Our XT245 has 6000 telemetry
rows with local_ip NULL while sitting on a healthy PoE network at
192.168.1.46, and every other field in the same payload arrives.

Confirmed against the device itself over its DWS: the installed autorun.brs is
ours (61055 bytes vs 61058 in tree) and contains this exact code, so it runs
and yields nothing. Interface 0 alone is not enough.

Now walks every interface the platform documents — 0/"eth0", "eth1",
1/"wlan0" — instead of assuming the first answers. The string forms are the
point: per the Object Reference an INTEGER interface "must currently exist on
the player; otherwise the object-creation function will return Invalid", while
the string names carry no such condition.

And when nothing answers it now says so on the host log. Silence is what made
this invisible for a whole fleet: the column stayed NULL and read as a
server-side gap rather than a player that never sent anything.

Not fixed blind — the first attempt at this used roDeviceInfo.GetIPAddrs(),
which is ROKU's API. BrightSign's roDeviceInfo has no network method of any
kind; the string does not occur once in the published Object Reference. It
would have raised "Member function not found" from inside SendHostTelemetry,
once a minute, forever — while ostensibly fixing telemetry. Caught by checking
the docs before shipping, and now added to the deny-list in
brightscript-api-surface.test.js so the next person cannot repeat it. Verified
the entry bites: injecting the call fails that suite.

⚠️ Untested on hardware. BrightScript has no interpreter outside a player, so
this is docs plus block-balance checking. The XT245 is reachable at
192.168.1.46 (DWS on 8080, not 80) to confirm once the package updates.
