yashksaini-coder 7d364da950 Refactor: update examples to utilize new address paradigm with wildcard support
- Introduced `get_wildcard_address` function for explicit wildcard binding.
- Updated examples to use `get_available_interfaces` and `get_optimal_binding_address` for address selection.
- Ensured consistent usage of the new address paradigm across all example files.
- Added tests to verify the implementation of the new address paradigm and wildcard feature.
