Provide a way to query a build instance's network info

[tigarmo]

What needs to get done

Provide API support on the Executor class to retrieve a build instance's networking info. What I need specifically is to know the instance's gateway, but I imagine the info as a whole would have uses. Currently I'm doing the following (only for LXD instances):

    instance_name = instance.instance_name
    project = instance.project
    output = subprocess.check_output(
        ["lxc", "--project", project, "config", "show", instance_name, "--expanded"],
        text=True,
    )
    config = util.safe_yaml_load(io.StringIO(output))
    network = config["devices"]["eth0"]["network"]

    route = subprocess.check_output(
        ["ip", "route", "show", "dev", network],
        text=True,
    )
    gateway = route.strip().split()[-1]

Why it needs to get done

In my case I need the application inside the instance to be able to talk to a service that is listening on a port on the host.
