report: add --report-exclude-network option

New option `--report-exclude-network`, also available as
`report.excludeNetwork`, enables the user to exclude
networking interfaces in their diagnostic report.
On some systems, this can cause the report to take minutes
to generate so this option can be used to optimize that.

Fixes: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/46060
