Allow bind hosts to be configured

[0xdevalias]

Currently it seems that the burp proxy is binding by default to localhost, and that the API is listening on 0.0.0.0. It would be awesome if we were able to control these by command line arguments in a similar way that we currently can with the port options.

The main line I found in the code that seemed relevant was:

• burp-rest-api/src/test/java/com/vmware/burp/extension/client/BurpClientIT.java

  Line 60 in 0fca0b5

  burpClient = new BurpClient("http://localhost:" + port);

But not 100% if that is correct, as it seems like it's part of an integration test.

You can already change the Proxy settings (e.g. binding IP, port) using Burp's project file (which is supported by burp-rest-api)

        "request_listeners":[
            {
                "certificate_mode":"per_host",
                "listen_mode":"loopback_only",
                "listener_port":8080,
                "running":true
            }
        ],

Btw, the code you've indicated it's just for tests.

As commented back then, there are two binding ports (API and Burp Proxy).

• Using the current master and upcoming new release, you can configure the API address/port via command line argument
• Using the 'listeners' configuration in the Burp's project file, you can setup the Burp Proxy address/port

We will be creating a FAQ to clarify the differences.
