Redirect to 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1 for speed #12

Since localhost takes some time than 0.0.0.0 (which is termed as invalid address), the apps/browsers can render it immediately.

It could increase the performance.

@jtechpro Yes, you are correct. I was already on my todo list. I'm trying to release a completely new version this week and working hard on that, but after 3.0 is released I will address this as well (probably next week).

p.s. depending on the system and application, 0.0.0.0 doesn't always mean "invalid address" but can also mean "any", so it could actually be slower. I will have to run some tests before I actually make the change.
