bankd: Don't use 127.0.0.1 as default IP address for the server

If remsim-bankd connects via 127.0.0.1 or any other loopback-routed
IP address to the remsim-server, then the getpername() of remsim-server
for the bankd will also render 127.0.0.1, and subsequently that IP
address will be provided to remsim-client as address to connect to.

In almost all setups, remsim-client will be running on a remote node and
hence not able to reach remsim-bankd at 127.0.0.1.

Let's turn the server-IP into a mandatory command line argument of
remsim-bankd and not use a problematic default value.

Specify the remote IP address/hostname of the `osmo-remsim-server` to
which this bankd shall establish its RSPRO control connection
which this bankd shall establish its RSPRO control connection. Do not specify a loopback
address or localhost, as this would in most cases result in a broken configuration where
a [usually remote] remsim-client attempts to reach the bankd via loopback, which doesn't work.
*-p, --server-port <1-65535>*::
Specify the remote TCP port number of the `osmo-remsim-server` to which
this bankd shall establish its RSPRO control connection
