Replace hardcoded localhost with 127.0.0.1 or a configurable host for local connection #10

Description

@nomyfan

pg0 currently hardcodes localhost in its PostgreSQL connection URIs.

On machines where localhost resolves to an address other than 127.0.0.1, pg0 start can fail during follow-up connection steps, and the reported URI can also be unusable for clients.

Suggested fix:

  • replace hardcoded localhost with 127.0.0.1 for local TCP connection URIs
  • or introduce a configurable host for local connections, with 127.0.0.1 as the default

Why this helps:

  • avoids DNS / host resolution variance for localhost
  • preserves a deterministic default for the common local case
  • leaves room for environments that prefer or require a different loopback host such as ::1
