add -nolocalhost option to detect when a daemon is coming up listening on a local host address only, and exit early

                 Key: SFOS-1184
                 URL: http://jira.smartfrog.org/jira/browse/SFOS-1184
             Project: SmartFrog
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: .sfCore
    Affects Versions: 3.17.x
            Reporter: Steve Loughran
            Assignee: Julio Guijarro


along with -noipv6, I'd like a -nolocalhost option which would exit the JVM with an error message and code if the network was a localhost only network

this is becoming a common problem in linux systems where the network manager adds an entry like
127.0.0.1 myhostname
to /etc/hosts, or worse
::1 myhostname
this may help laptops find themselves, but stops the machines being visible on the network.

A command line option to exit in this situation will stop the daemon coming up in an unusable state. We'd leave it off by default, except maybe on the RPMs.
