net: prefer running interface for auto-detection (#2557)

Browse Source 
Improve the find_interface() to return a interface name
that is currently running if any interface of given type
is currently running, else just return the first one found.

This will allow the interface-type to work with multiple net interface
of the same type, and prefer to one that is currently connect to
a network. This works great HW with multiple ethernet port and user
expect to occasonally swap between the two.
