mailinabox/management/email_administrator.py
Joshua Tauberer 6d259a6e12 use "127.0.0.1" throughout rather than mixing use of an IP address and "localhost"
On some machines localhost is defined as something other than 127.0.0.1, and if we mix "127.0.0.1" and "localhost" then some connections won't be to to the address a service is actually running on.

This was the case with DKIM: It was running on "localhost" but Postfix was connecting to it at 127.0.0.1. (https://discourse.mailinabox.email/t/opendkim-is-not-running-port-8891/1188/12.)

I suppose "localhost" could be an alias to an IPv6 address? We don't really want local services binding on IPv6, so use "127.0.0.1" to be explicit and don't use "localhost" to be sure we get an IPv4 address.

Fixes #797
