server: bind to IPv4 localhost by default
Since OpenOCD basically allows to perform arbitrary actions on behalf of
the running user, it makes sense to restrict the exposure by default.
If you need network connectivity and your environment is safe enough,
use "bindto 0.0.0.0" to switch to the old behaviour.
