Respect Host-IP-Address configuration
Addresses returned from a transport module were always used to populate Host-IP-Address AVP's in an outgoing CER/CEA, which precluded the sending of a VIP address. Transport addresses are now only used if Host-IP-Address is unspecified. In other words, respect any configured Host-IP-Address, regardless of the physical addresses returned by the transport. To use the physical addresses, don't configure Host-IP-Address.
