Use web3 IPCProvider instead of HTTP Provider #13

As our hubot runs on the same machine as the parity node we could directly connect to parity using the IPC provider - instead of through HTTP. I assume this might be a bit more performant and reliable? causing less http requests?

It would probably also enable synchronous method calls, which is a bit of a PITA when it's missing.

Not running Parity anymore.
