The has_ip_address function no longer works #1447

Description

Describe the Bug

When performing a Puppet agent run, the following is reported.
"Error while evaluating a Function Call, Undefined variable 'interfaces'"
The location described by the error refers to a line that runs the "has_ip_address" function. Previously this worked on PE 2021 and Puppet Agent 7.30.0

Expected Behavior

The function should check if an IP address is on the local server and return true or false.

Steps to Reproduce

puppet agent -t

Environment

"name": "puppetlabs-stdlib",
"version": "9.7.0",
"os": RedHat 7.9
"puppet enterprise": 2023.8.1
"puppet agent": 8.10.0

Additional Context

I'm guessing this is because the "interfaces" fact no longer exists, as confirmed by the "facter -p" command. OpenSource Puppet also refers to "interfaces" as a legacy fact - https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/core_facts.htm
