📄 Description

Fixes: #18878

Loosen the validation logic on BaseInterface to only raise an error if the designated primary MAC address is assigned to a different interface
Introduce the update_mac_address_interface() signal handler to automatically assign the primary MAC address (if any) to a new interface immediately following its creation
