topology-updater: use node IP in the default configz URI

Use node IP (instead of node name) in the default value of
-kubelet-config-uri. Should make the default deployment more robust,
making it work in scenarios where node name does not resolve to the node
ip, e.g. nodename != hostname.

 The `-kubelet-config-uri` specifies the path to the Kubelet's configuration.
