misc: Add the --listener-loopback-only command line option.
This option invokes the Listener::loopbackOnly() static function which
will make the port listeners bind to the loopback device exclusively and
ignore connections on other devices. That prevents external agents like
port scanners from disrupting simulations with spurious connections.
