Interface: IInterfaceListener

The listener of a network interface for a server: it accepts the connections of the interface and gives them to the server, whatever the addresses of the interface, again when they change and when the interface is unplugged and plugged back. The server itself does not listen. The InterfaceListener of @lakutata/netif implements it.
