Proposed patch

Facter will pick the primary interface as the first interface alphabetically
that does not have a localhost address on it.  This works fine if you have
multiple physical nics line xe0, xe1, etc but it is getting tripped up by
having a tun0 interface as well.

47>facter | grep primary
  primary => "tun0"

Attached patch will use the same method facter uses on Solaris to determine the
primary interace.   Also https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT-1932 has
been filed upstream to get this fixed properly for mutilple BSD OSes.
