Use a fixed list height for network interface selection

This solves the issue reported here: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues/4196
It replaces the other suggested solution here: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/pull/4197

The benefit of using a fixed/limited list height, compared to allowing larger whiptail/dialogue dimension, is that it works on small screens as well, where the screen or console size itself is too small to hold the interface list + text above + whiptail frame.

It the amount of list elements exceeds the defined list height, automatically a visual scroll bar is added and the list can be scrolled with up/down pageup/pagedown buttons, hence it is generally not required to adjust a list height based on the amount of elements. The fixed height of "6" is chosen since all other "--radiolist" calls use this fixed height as well, it fits and looks good within a 20 rows high whiptail dialogue, and in the common Pi-hole use cases there are no more than 6 network interfaces.
