#525 arg for hpi_shell to point HPI server address

[Anton Pak]

Now hpi_shell gets HPI server address from 'OPENHPI_DAEMON_HOST' environment variable.

It is useful to introduce command line argument for hpi_shell to point HPI server address directly.

We suggest '-n server_hostname' schema.
The patch is attached.

Instead, create the file /etc/openhpi/openhpiclient.conf and have in it the following:
domain default {
host = "myhost"
}

If user has not root priveleges this way is not ok.

For example, none requires point destination address in
environment var or in /etc/telnet/telnetclient.conf for telnet.
The same about any network application - telnet, ftp, ssh, irc...

hpi_shell is not on the same level of any of the applications you mentioned as it is not a network protocol application.
However, I will reopen the bug for a future release.
