* Support automatic IP address detection in config utility

Before I look at this, could anyone tell me the official status of the
following  (as NodeConfig is seriously unmaintained and barely maintainable
it's a little behind the times):

.  Does the "24/7" vs. "Transient" setting still make sense?  Is it still
relevant?  The caption is "Nodes running 24/7 are good for Freenet" but that
has nothing to do with transitivity does it?
.  Would "FNP Port" make more sense on the same tab as Node IP Address?  (If
a user has a need to change FNP port he already knows about ports and so IP
addresses are unlikely to scare him)
.  Do we still need to put "127.0.0.1,localhost" into allowedHosts?  Isn't
it implied that Fred almost-certainly needs them there?  I have a feeling
NodeConfig will add them there if they weren't already there.
.  Should distribution servlet be turnoffable?  Because it seems NodeConfig
always writes out services=mainport,distribution irrespective of what
services= before NodeConfig was run...
.  Are there any more servlets other than mainport and distribution?  (I
know there may be in the future, so I'm changing NodeConfig anyway to
respect services= rather than squash it)

If there's any more obvious stupidities in NodeConfig I'll be sure to let
the list know as and when I come up against them (other than the obvious...)
