Why

The test configuration was querying a network interface IP address based on its name. However, the name, "eth0", is very specific to Linux. This broke the test on other systems.

How

We still have to set an explicit bind_addr because Consul refuses to start if the host has multiple private IPv4 addresses, as it is the case in CI.

Therefore, we hard-code 127.0.0.1 as the IPv4 address to use because it has a great chance to exist about anywhere.

V2: We abandon the idea of not setting bind_addr because GitHub Actions default hosts have several private IPv4 addresses configured.

…config

[Why]
The test configuration was querying a network interface IP address based
on its name. However, the name, "eth0", is very specific to Linux. This
broke the test on other systems.

[How]
We still have to set an explicit `bind_addr` because Consul refuses to
start if the host has multiple private IPv4 addresses, as it is the case
in CI.

Therefore, we hard-code 127.0.0.1 as the IPv4 address to use because it has a
great chance to exist about anywhere.

(cherry picked from commit 6941e10)
[Why]
It helps diagnose any startup issues. Typically a problem with the
configuration where the log file is not yet created.
