interfaces.State.String tries to print a concise summary of the
network state, removing any interfaces that don't have any or any
interesting IP addresses. On macOS and iOS, for instance, there are a
ton of misc things.
But the link monitor based its are-there-changes decision on
interfaces.State.Equal, which just used reflect.DeepEqual, including
comparing all the boring interfaces. On macOS, when turning wifi on or off, there
are a ton of misc boring interface changes, resulting in hitting an earlier
check I'd added on suspicion this was happening:
[unexpected] network state changed, but stringification didn't
This fixes that by instead adding a new
interfaces.State.RemoveUninterestingInterfacesAndAddresses method that
does, uh, that. Then use that in the monitor. So then when Equal is
used later, it's DeepEqualing the already-cleaned version with only
interesting interfaces.
This makes cmd/tailscaled debug --monitor much less noisy.
