get server ip automatically

Get the local server ip automatically instead of from command line

While I like the general idea of this, I think the exact implementation is problematic @johanlantz. Currently this overwrites the logic in

cordova-paramedic/lib/LocalServer.js

Lines 176 to 197 in 9a617d6

	LocalServer.prototype.getConnectionAddress = function (platformId) {
	if (this.externalServerUrl) {
	return this.externalServerUrl;
	}
	// build connection uri for localhost based on platform
	var connectionUrl;
	switch(platformId) {
	case "android" :
	connectionUrl = "http://10.0.2.2";
	break;
	case "ios" :
	case "browser" :
	case "windows" :
	/* falls through */
	default:
	connectionUrl = "http://127.0.0.1";
	}
	return connectionUrl;
	};

for Android (although as the comment here, I am not sure this is really a good idea anyway).

Probably the whole "get IP for server" code has to be looked at to solve this in a proper way.

Until then, a nice workaround seems to be to use the --useTunnel option so it just loops through the internet. Not efficient, but works.

at your discression, I just did a solution that solved my immediate problem. Much better if you take a whole approach to not cause problems in other places
