Changes to server to allow better control over binding to interfaces (#582)

* refactor: remove unused imports

* server: new options to choose certain IP versions

On some setups, IPv6 or IPv4 might be disabled in the OS.
In my case IPv6 is disabled and this causes errors when starting the server.

* server: add options to choose the address to bind to

Sometimes a user might want to bind to localhost only for testing
or have multiple interfaces per IP version and only one must be used.
