laanwj b3c7cce8d9 prometheus: Listen on 127.0.0.1 by default
Make the prometheus plugin listen on 127.0.0.1 (localhost) by default
instead of open to the world. This closes a privacy breach in the
default configuration.

# Prometheus plugin for c-lightning
This plugin exposes some key metrics from c-lightning in the prometheus format
so it can be scraped, plotted and alerts can be created on it. The plugin adds
the following command line arguments:
- `prometheus-listen`: the IP address and port to bind the HTTP server to
(default: `127.0.0.1:9750`)
Exposed variables include:
- `node`: ID, version, ...
- `peers`: whether they are connected, and how many channels are currently
open
- `channels`: fund allocations, spendable funds, and how many unresolved
HTLCs are currently attached to the channel
- `funds`: satoshis in on-chain outputs, satoshis allocated to channels and
total sum (may be inaccurate during channel resolution).
