On a host with a SimpleZone or EVPN and SNAT configured, when changing
the ip address of the bridge that handles the SNAT, the changes are not
reflected in /etc/network/interfaces.d/sdn. This happens because the ip
address is resolved via 'ip route get 8.8.8.8'. By the time this command
is executed, no ifreload has been executed yet, so ip route still
contains the old ip address.
Determine the IP version (IPv4 or IPv6) of the address used with 'ip
route'. Then parse the incoming /etc/network/interfaces file and look up
the interface currently used by 'ip route'. If the interface is still
present and has a gateway and ip address with the correct version, but
the ip address has changed, update the ip address in the SDN
configuration accordingly and log the change to the journal.

Notes:
changes from v1 to v2: (thanks @Gabriel, @Stefan)
-add handling for IPV6 addresses
-remove warnings for missing ip/gateway, as they might trigger
in some legitimate scenarios
-add canonical formatting for IPv4 and IPV6
-execute make tidy
-small restructuring of if clauses for earlier exit
-fix typos
concerning the ignoring of live routing tables:
The function only determines the currently used interface (via 'ip
route') and its ip address and returns these two. The gateway configured
in /etc/network/interfaces is only used to verify that the interface is
still a valid candidate after an 'ifreload -a'. As it cannot switch
interfaces relative what to 'ip route' reports it should not be able
influence gateway selection.
If I am missing a more obscure way or an edge case where gateway
selection could still be affected, please let me know.
Also I have thought about adding "... does not match with its actual ip
address reported by ip route ...", but after this would be displayed
'ifreload -a' gets executed and 'ip route' changes.
