On Linux systems, `ifconfig` is long deprecated in favor of the `ip`
command from iproute2. Some systems don't have iproute2 (BSDs in
particular), so ddclient will still attempt `ifconfig` if `ip` is
missing.
Also: Don't hide STDERR because error messages are important for
troubleshooting problems. To avoid STDERR noise on systems without the
`ip` command, the command's existence is checked before it is run.
Notes:
* The fetched addresses could be limited to IPv4 or IPv6 depending
on `opt('ipv6')`, and non-global addresses could be filtered out,
but any filtering risks breaking a nontrivial number of existing
configurations.
* This change runs the risk of breaking existing configs that set
`if-skip`. Due to the deprecation of `ifconfig`, and the belief
that only a negligible number of users set `if-skip`, the benefits
of this change are believed to outweigh the config migration
burden imposed on users.
Fixes#93.
If the user passed `-ip` they almost certainly want to use it, even if
they also passed `-if` and `-web`.
Similarly, if the user passed `-if` they almost certainly want to use
it even if they also passed `-web`.
This allows us to use the `//` and `//=` operators.
v5.10.1 was chosen because that is the oldest version of Perl among
all currently supported releases of Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, Fedora, and
Debian.
