Feature #8075: Add socket interface class to list interfaces
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8075

For IPv6 multicast an interface may be set to indicate which interface IPv6 packets should be sent on.

The attached patch allows interfaces to be looked up by name (or index) for use in setting this socket option.

I think this is a good feature to support RFC 3493
(Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6).

Note that I didn't design/implement this feature just because
I have no experience with multicast.

=begin
The one method I am concerned about is (({Socket::Interface.list})), should this be (({Socket.interface_list})) like (({Socket.ip_address_list}))?

If the patch is fine as-is, shall I commit it?
