utils.localinterfaces: Add PUBLIC_IPS to consolidate socket logic

Consolidating IP detection in this module will let us remove
socket.gethostbyname_ex calls from other modules and ensure that
everyone agrees on what our public IPs should be.

 """Simple utility for building a list of local IPs using the socket module.
 This module defines two constants:
 
 LOCALHOST : The loopback interface, or the first interface that points to this
             machine.  It will *almost* always be '127.0.0.1'
 
 LOCAL_IPS : A list of IP addresses, loopback first, that point to this machine.
+
+PUBLIC_IPS : A list of public IP addresses that point to this machine.
+             Use these to tell remote clients where to find you.
