Summary

InterfaceAddress::getBroadcast API documentation is updated to not mention the loopback interface

Problem

The current API documentation may let the reader assume that getBroadcast() will always return null for the loopback interface. This is not the case on all systems.

Solution

Remove mention of the loopback interface and simplify the documentation to simply say:

     * Some network interfaces do not support broadcasting and may
     * also return {@code null}.
