add rpc_public_addr_subnet config option

In case `rpc_public_addr` is not set, but autodiscovery is used, this
allows filtering the list of automatically discovered IPs to a specific
subnet.

For example, if nodes should pick *their* IP inside a specific subnet,
but you don't want to explicitly write the IP down (as it's dynamic, or
you want to share configs across nodes), you can use this option.
