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.

Some people mount a folder on the plugin directory. This is fine, but
our sneaky Impostor.Http install method won't work here. So put it in a
different folder and prepend our folder to the plugin search path.

Adding plugins to the docker image is pretty hard as you need to install
ASP.Net Core and add the plugin. As Impostor.Http has become pretty much
mandatory, install the plugin by default.
* Upgrade to .NET 6
.NET 5 has gone EOL, so move to a supported version.
* Upgrade Docker container as well
* Update docs for .NET 6
* Re-add hack for System.IO.Pipelines
* Bump dependency versions
* Update the deps of the other projects too
* Only declare TargetFramework once
* Dockerfile: also copy over Directory.Build.props
* Cake: pick up target framework automatically
* Upgrade Cake as well
* Improved EventManager
Now it actually will order the event listeners on their priority. Also I've cleaned up the registering of temporary event listeners.
* Ignore new Impostor.Api library while loading plugins
* Fixed Dockerfile
