Draft: Attempt to show the user's IPv4 address when possible

Felipe Borges requested to merge wip/show-ipv4-address into main

Historically we have had issues and discussions regarding showing a "preferred" IP address in the UI in various places, with the goal of enabling external users to connect to the services we manage (remote desktop, file-sharing, ssh, etc...).

This is a DRAFT attempt of using the NetworkManager API to obtain a reasonable IPv4 address to display.

I'm marking this as DRAFT as I would like to discuss the implications of adopting this mechanism.
