This PR fixes an issue that I discovered using connecting to the RPC via
localhost using cURL, where cURL tries to connect to via ipv6 before
ipv4 when querying `localhost` which messed up the http host filter
whereas it would connect to the address `[::1]::9944 host_header:
localhost:9944` but the ipv6 interface only whitelisted `[::1]:9944`
which this fixes.

So let's whitelist all localhost interfaces to avoid such weird
edge-cases.

### Behavior before this PR

```bash
$ polkadot --chain westend-dev &
$ curl -v \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"id","method":"system_name"}' \
     http://localhost:9944
* Host localhost:9944 was resolved.
* IPv6: ::1
* IPv4: 127.0.0.1
*   Trying [::1]:9944...
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 9944
> POST / HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:9944
> User-Agent: curl/8.5.0
> Accept: */*
> Content-Type: application/json
> Content-Length: 50

< HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

Provided Host header is not whitelisted.
* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact
```

### Behavior after this PR

This pull request is amending an existing release. Please proceed with extreme caution,
as to not impact downstream teams that rely on the stability of it. Some things to consider:

  • Backports are only for 'patch' or 'minor' changes. No 'major' or other breaking change.
  • Should be a legit fix for some bug, not adding tons of new features.
  • Must either be already audited or not need an audit.
Emergency Bypass

If you really need to bypass this check: add validate: false to each crate
in the Prdoc where a breaking change is introduced. This will release a new major
version of that crate and all its reverse dependencies and basically break the release.
