[REQUEST] Add the ability to detect server IP for black/whitelisting

[synesthesium]

Maybe something like gluasteal.SERVER so that something like this can be written?

if gluasteal.SERVER == "93.184.216.34" then -- this is the IP to example.com
    if gluasteal.SCRIPT == "includes/init.lua" then
        gluasteal.include("script1.lua")
    end
elseif gluasteal.SERVER == "172.67.183.168" then -- this is also the IP to something.com
    if gluasteal.SCRIPT == "includes/init.lua" then
        gluasteal.include("script2.lua")
    end
end

You can use Gmod's game.GetIPAddress function to retrieve the IP and port of the host you are connecting to. FYI, it's lua/includes/init.lua, not includes/init.lua (remember the prefix, e.g. lua, gamemode, etc).

print(gluasteal.SCRIPT)
if gluasteal.SCRIPT == "lua/includes/init.lua" then
    print("host ip", game.GetIPAddress())
end

Clientside Lua startup!
lua/includes/init.lua
host ip 45.88.1.1:27026
lua/includes/util.lua
lua/includes/util/color.lua
lua/includes/util/sql.lua
lua/includes/extensions/net.lua
lua/includes/modules/baseclass.lua

Huh. I read that game.GetIPAddress() reported wrong data occasionally. Anyways, as for including lua, that also solves #54, but I'm curious as to why the examples do not reflect that?

Woops! I'll update the readme now. Thanks. game.GetIPAddress() seems to work fine at the moment but if it does return wrong data I'll happily add something like gluasteal.SERVER.
