rtl: fix lnd, lightning-loop connection errors

Browse source 
lnd and lightning-loop resolve `localhost` to an IPv4 address when
creating RPC sockets.

Since NixOS 23.05, RTL (nodejs) resolves `localhost` to an IPv6
address when connecting to lnd and lightning-loop, which leads to
connection errors.

To fix these and other potential errors, replace all instances
of `localhost` with `127.0.0.1`.

Normally you would connect to RTL via SSH tunneling with a command like this
```
ssh -L 3000:localhost:3000 root@bitcoin-node
ssh -L 3000:127.0.0.1:3000 root@bitcoin-node
```
Or like this, if you are using `netns-isolation`

4. Connect to your nix-bitcoin node's SSH onion service, forwarding a local port to the nix-bitcoin node's SSH server
```
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 -L <random port of your choosing>:localhost:22 root@<SSH onion address>
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 -L <random port of your choosing>:127.0.0.1:22 root@<SSH onion address>
```
5. Edit your deployment tool's configuration and change the node's address to `localhost` and the ssh port to `<random port of your choosing>`.
If you use krops as described in the [installation tutorial](./install.md), set `target = "localhost:<random port of your choosing>";` in `krops/deploy.nix`.

6. After deploying the new configuration, it will connect through the SSH tunnel you established in step iv. This also allows you to do more complex SSH setups that some deployment tools don't support. An example would be authenticating with [Trezor's SSH agent](https://github.com/romanz/trezor-agent), which provides extra security.
