Title: using localhost instead of 0.0.0.0 for server-startup check

When a specific hostname is not specified for the server startup via the -o switch, the server starts up glomming to all interfaces (0.0.0.0). This same behaviour is problematic for the wait_for_server and wait_for_server_to_die methods on CentOS 6 (and I am guessing RHEL) - as Net::HTTP cannot connect to 0.0.0.0 by default on these systems. This means that the startup script never finishes.

For these cases, when the host is 0.0.0.0, the wait_for_server and wait_for_server_to_die methods could just use the loopback interface directly. This change allows the script to launch and daemonize the server correctly on these systems.
