[hobbit] Bind Hobbit to Specific IP Address

[Thomas]

I would like to have a --bind-address option to bbtest-net since this is 
an option I often need when running my bbtest-net server in a cluster. 
Currently I have to do src NATing with iptables for the resulting test 
to come from the right address.
