Make NtopNG local network definition a "per-interface" feature #6774

What would you like to add or change?: It would be greatly helpful to switch the local network definition in NtopNG (and so the Hosts->Networks section in the UI) from global feature to interface local.

Why do you and others need this?: Oftentimes distributed environments have overlapping/double local network ranges (e.g.: multiple stores, each one with a WLAN range equal to 192.168.1.0/24 OR 192.168.1.0/23, hidden behind a SNAT). Assigning each one to a nprobe talking to a different interface on NtopNG would require such an implementation to avoid chosing between one of the overlapping networks, losing accuracy on the other one.

After internal discussion we decided to not do it, because most of the times (for our customers) those networks are the same
