Hi,
This is a documentation change only. The specification of
`InterfaceAddress:getBroadcast()` should not say anything specific about the
loopback interface as it appears that on some systems a broadcast address can
be configured on the loopback. The API documentation of
`InterfaceAddress:getBroadcast()` is updated to simply say that:
* Some network interfaces do not support broadcasting and may
* also return {@code null}.
