fix: properly setup outbound network connectivity in getting started

the getting started guide was hardcoding eth0 as the network interface
on the host to route outbound microvm network traffic to. However, on
EC2 instances (and my laptop), that's wrong, because its not called
eth0. So instead dynamically determine the hopefully correct network
interface on the host.

Fixes: #4930
