Update isRunningLocally Function to Recognise Private IP Addresses for Consistent GUI Rendering

[SajidAlamQB]

Description

Related to: #2198

This PR addresses an issue where Kedro-Viz does not display the full GUI when accessed via local private IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.x.x). We will update the isRunningLocally function to include private IP ranges defined in RFC 1918, to ensure consistent GUI rendering when accessing Kedro-Viz on local networks.

Development notes

Regular expressions have been added to match the following private IP ranges:

10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

QA Notes

Local Access via localhost:

Run Kedro-Viz:

• kedro viz run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=1008
• Open http://localhost:1008 or http://127.0.0.1:1008 on your machine.
• Expected: All local-only features (like the Experiment Tracking tab) should be visible and functional.

Local Access via IP:

• Find your machine’s local IP (e.g., 192.168.1.40).
• On the same machine, access http://192.168.1.40:1008.
• Expected: All local-only features appear, just as they do with localhost.

hey thanks @SajidAlamQB just a quick reminder to add this in the release note, and also can you also put a few notes in the QA steps please, eg: is there anything we should run locally to test this specifically?
