By default, Kolibri binds to 0.0.0.0, which is secret code for "all interfaces". I believe this is why Windows shows a "Security Alert" on first run of the app.

Instead, tell Kolibri to only listen on 127.0.0.1, which is localhost.

Also includes a naïve, completely untested and probably-wrong patch to work around learningequality/kolibri#10893.

Fixes #135

The naïve etc. patch doesn't work. Hitting the same exception. Not sure why.
