Allow raiden to communicate with a local ethereum node through IPC

[ ] Add a command line argument to specify the ethereum node with a URI, where the protocols http and ipc are supported, this then should be used to configure the web3 provider

hackaugusto commented 5 years ago

This should be straight forward since we are using web3. It has IPC and websocket providers that can be set during the app startup

andrevmatos commented 5 years ago

Notice it will break webUI, as the IPC URL probably can't be accessed by web3.js directly from browser. Some kind of proxy endpoint may be needed.
