feat(metallb): add option to limit MetalLB layer2 announcements to specific interfaces (#696)

- roles/k3s_server_post/templates/metallb.crs.j2: render spec.interfaces in the L2Advertisement when metal_lb_interfaces is a non-empty list, so MetalLB only announces on the configured interfaces. Empty list (default) keeps announcing on all interfaces, preserving existing behavior. - roles/k3s_server_post/defaults/main.yml: add metal_lb_interfaces: [] default - roles/k3s_server_post/meta/main.yml: add metal_lb_interfaces argument_spec - inventory/sample/group_vars/all.yml: document the new sample variable - .github/scripts/test-metallb-interfaces.py: regression test rendering the template for empty/single/multiple interfaces and confirming the BGP path is unaffected - .pre-commit-config.yaml: wire the new test into pre-commit Co-authored-by: Leo <leo@kuboschek.me>

+"""Regression test for the MetalLB L2Advertisement interfaces.
+
+`metal_lb_interfaces` restricts which network interfaces MetalLB announces
+load balancer IPs on in layer2 mode. When the list is non-empty, the
+L2Advertisement in roles/k3s_server_post/templates/metallb.crs.j2 must render
+a `spec.interfaces` block; when it is empty (the default), no spec is rendered
+so MetalLB announces on all interfaces.
+
+This renders the template and asserts both cases plus the BGP path (which must
+not be affected by the L2 interfaces variable).
