Fix the following warning reported by Coverity: Defect type: SIGMA.insecure_network_bind: > dpdk-stable-24.11.1/usertools/dpdk-telemetry-exporter.py:278: > Sigma main event: The HTTP server binds to all network interfaces by > setting the IP address to "", `0.0.0.0`, `::`, or `::0`. > This may expose the server to unintended traffic.
Avoid listening to all interfaces by default to avoid exposing private information unwillingly. Unrelated: The Python stdlib TCP server listens on IPv4 only by default. Changing this requires creating a subclass that overrides address_family to socket.AF_INET6.
