Description

Jira Link: DB-1371 Currently at master start-up, we verify that the master's RPC bind address is part of the master address list passed at a start-up. In case we have different RPC addresses and broadcast addresses, and the RPC address is not publicly available, we might need to pass the broadcast address as the master address.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the master startup code in the yb master binary, specifically where the bind address and master address list are validated. Ensure that if the RPC bind address is not part of the master address list, but a broadcast address is configured, the broadcast address is checked as an alternative. Modify the verification logic accordingly.
