IMHO this should be an "advanced" configuration setting in each
browser under the "Privacy" section in which the user can decide which
network interfaced are exposed to WebRTC.

Otherwise, in most of the cases a computer has a single private IP and
an associated public IP (in the router), so it would make no sense to
prompt the user about it (the IP is also "leaked" in any HTTP
request).
