Jekyll: switch to localhost

0.0.0.0 has issues on Windows.

with that change, i can't run npm run docs-serve on the machine and access the docs from another machine on my local network (using the IP of the machine, e.g. http://192.168.1.163:9001 - the request from the other machine/phone/device times out). with the current 0.0.0.0 i can still use http://localhost:9001 on my local machine, AND i can access the docs from any other machine in my network using the http://192.168.1.163:9001 (depending on IP of machine) address...

Well, yeah but doesn't work for me then.

adding some context from the slack chat: what isn't currently working with using 0.0.0.0 is that redirects end up using that address, and then don't work (because the magic 0.0.0.0 isn't actually valid, and gets changed behind the scenes...but not, it seems, by the redirect plugin)

[patrickhlauke]

as discussed, i'd like to keep the ability to access the docs running on one machine from another machine (like a phone/tablet) on the same network. using localhost breaks this. xref https://zarino.co.uk/post/jekyll-local-network/

a different approach - perhaps using some sort of "if running locally for dev purposes, use this config" which could set the baseurl or url to localhost explicitly, making redirects work then - would be better perhaps

Like I said on Slack, you can use a custom --host flag. The default should work for most people.
