Fix documentation for roundup-server about the 'host' parameter... ...as suggested in issue2550693, fixes the first part of this issue. Make 'localhost' the new default for this parameter, note the upgrading documentation of changed behaviour. We also deprecate the empty host parameter for binding to all interfaces now (still left in for compatibility). Thanks to Toni Mueller for providing the first version of this patch and discussing implementations.

 passwords are auto-migrated to a more secure password scheme on user
 login, set this to "no" before running your tracker(s) after the
 upgrade.
