Description

When selecting interfaces its not possible to select localhost unless deselecting all interfaces and enabling the use of a wildcard.
Intended behavior is to be able to enable a select few interfaces AND localhost to enable NAT redirection back to pfSense for clients where NTP settings cant be changed.
Intended behavior can be seen in the DNS Resolver that provides the ability to select interfaces + localhost.

NTPD listens for 127.0.0.1:123 and :: 1: 123 anyway, but this PR allows you to select only Loopback as the listening interface, for cases when you need to do port-forward to loopback and not listen to any other interface:

I also had a PR ready but I was waiting for the other requests to be merged
i had a different mods for that, i put it here if you like it

function build_interface_list() {
        global $pconfig;

        $iflist = array('options' => array(), 'selected' => array());

        $iflist['options']['lo0']       = gettext("localhost");
        if (empty($selectedifs) || empty($selectedifs[0]) || in_array("lo0", $selectedifs)) {
                array_push($iflist['selected'], "lo0");
        }
