Description

In node list, the table can be customized, it is possible to add

We remove local ipv4 addresses (line 127.0.0.1) to avoid cluttering the output but we do not filter local ipv6 address which clutter the table a lot

local ipv6 address start with fe80:

The problem is that ipv6 link local addresses are automatically generated and there can be a lot of addresses.
This means that even on a HD screen, it is possible to get only 1 or 2 in the nodes list page.

I'm unsure about the need

fe80::/10 – Addresses in the link-local prefix are only valid and unique on the local subnet. This address range is comparable to the auto-configuration addresses 169.254.0.0/16 of IPv4.

so filtering them out is not like filtering 127.0.0.1 (but it might make sense to filter them out)

The idea is to :
- remove in node summary "ip addresses" field (from storage, ie filter out them and don't store them at all)
- keep them in the dedicated sub-entry "network interfaces".

Actually, we want to do the same thing than for 127.0.0.1, so it means adding them to isLocalhostIPv4IPv6
