Add set_interface connector option

[hottea773]

This PR is a duplicate of #2484 which I'd like to use, but is closed.

(I've minorly changed it such that we bind to the interface before we bind to the address otherwise it can cause issues with failing to find addresses on VRFs.)

I'd like to use it soon, so I've made it against the 0.14.x branch. I hope that's ok?

@seanmonstar sorry for the tag, hope you're the right person. Is there any chance this might get looked at any time soon?

[seanmonstar]

So, while I'm supportive of adding the feature in general, I do feel divided about adding new things to 0.14.x. Ideally (from my point of view), this would land in hyper-util. Is that fine for your use case? It could mean it's a little harder to start using it right away.

Thanks, that makes sense. I think using the 0.14 fork for a few months should be ok for me. AIUI hyper-util is where this section of code is going in 1.0.0, so if I made this change there we'd be able to use it once that is released?

I've opened hyperium/hyper-util#26 which AFAICT essentially re-targets this PR against the v1 branch. If that is approved, I'll close this PR as I'm happy to wait for v1 to use this feature.

[hottea773]

Since hyperium/hyper-util#26 has been merged, so this will be available from v1 onwards, I'm closing this PR

[nickjknight]

Since hyper V1 is taking quite a long time. Can we get this useful change applied to 0.14.x as well?

[hottea773]

I'll re-open the PR as I'd be happy for this to be merged into 0.14, but obviously depends on what Sean thinks.

[hottea773]

@seanmonstar do you have any views on @nickjknight 's request?

[seanmonstar]

1.0 target date is Nov 15. That's got all my attention at the moment.

Some back ports after could be fine, we'll see.

[hottea773]

Hey, thanks. If it is coming next week, then I imagine that should be good for people's use cases. @nickjknight any opinions?

[nickjknight]

Looks like We'd still probably like it back ported once there's a bit of time availble. Our infrastructure will be on 0.14 for a while longer.
