Removing netifaces due to lack of maintainer (#519)

* removed dependency on netifaces entirely by using psutil and manually parsing /proc/net/route to figure out default gateway

* Checking if /proc/net/route is accessible. before commiting to parse it

* changed to using pyroute2 instead of manually parsing /proc/net/route and psutil for interface enum

* added pyroute2 as a dependency

* fixed bug in subnets appending

* added windows support using a powershell snippet for interface enum
