Change default ListenIp of Http server to 0.0.0.0

Browse Source 
We see that a lot of support tickets are caused by this default setting,
as it is one of the things that blocks connections to the server with no
obvious indication that this is happening. To make it easier for first
time users to set up Impostor, it is important that this setting is
changed.

Previously we also recommended against direct exposing due to security
reasons, but I believe this fear to be unfounded: Microsoft claims that
the Kestrel server is hardened against web server vulnerabilities and
supports its use both with and without a reverse proxy.[1]

We still recommend using reverse proxies if HTTPS support is needed, so
that section of documentation still remains. Setting the ListenIp to
127.0.0.1 is still recommended when using a reverse proxy to remove the
ability for people to connect directly, so we add it there as a recommendation.

Impostor has an Http Server that is used by recent versions of Among Us to connect to. See [the Http Server page](Http-server.md) for more details on how to set this up.
| Key | Default | Description |
|----------------|-------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Enabled** | `true` | Whether the http server should be enabled. |
| **ListenIp** | `127.0.0.1` | The network interface to listen on. Use `127.0.0.1` if you use a reverse proxy or just run locally. Use `0.0.0.0` if you are directly exposing this server to the internet (not recommended) |
| **ListenPort** | `22023` | The listen port of this server. For port forwarding purposes, this is an TCP port. |
