Allow remote configuration

Adapters are currently only listening on localhost (127.0.0.1) causing them to be only accessible locally. For docker containers, they can only be accessed from within the container or directly on the host (with the --network host switch which results in not containerizing the container's networking) but they cannot be accessed for elsewhere (not able to bind them to 0.0.0.0) This makes adapter management very difficult in distributed environment.

    We are trying to implement a central orgistration layer to manage the hundreds of adapters in our fleet to automate tasks. when we found out that the api isnt accessible remotely that put a big stopper on things and we have had to think up other idea such as a sidecar container that just proxies the api calls through. not ideal at all and not as secure as it should be.

    From a cyber secure by design perspective, this should be implemented natively within the Adapter itself, and not be managed by customer workarounds

    Workarounds are outside of the control of Aveva, and may be implemented by customers in non-ideal ways. The exploits of those workarounds may none-the-less damage Aveva reputation (undeservedly)

    Would require https://feedback.osisoft.com/forums/930280-pi-adapters/suggestions/43629426-support-https-instead-of-http-only to be completed first

    Hello, We are testing PI Adapter on windows and have find a workaround by redirecting ports: netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport= listenaddress= connectport= connectaddress=127.0.0.1 This working fine for us.
