hostname resolves to 127.0.0.1 - specifiying IP not possible

[asfimport]

Jeremy Jay (Bug 47980):
The jmeter-server script says that defining java.rmi.server.hostname will work
when resolving the hostname fails to get a non-loopback address, but it still
doesn't work. I don't have admin rights on the computer in question so this is
a blocker issue for me, I can only run one instance. The attached patch fixes
the issue for me and allows me to connect to multiple jmeter servers.

Created attachment nonlocalhost-hostname-ip.diff: dont use localhost when hostname specified
