Use ipv4 loopback address

[IanVS]

I tried to update my app to Node 18, and found that the test-runner started to fail. I learned it was because of a change in Node 17 to no longer sort the results of getaddrinfo to prefer ipv4 addresses. This means on some machines after node 17, localhost no longer resolves to 127.0.0.1.

Therefore, running http-server storybook-static --port 6006 and then test-storybook will no longer work, because localhost is looking for an ipv6 address, and http-server sets up on ipv4.

As a workaround, I can use --url http://127.0.0.1:6006, but that seems like it shouldn't be necessary.

So this change looks for 127.0.0.1 explicitly as the default, and updates the documentation to reference it that way as well. I tested this back to node 16 and of course it works fine there too.

This should make it a bit easier for folks to upgrade to node 18 without nasty surprises.
