default remote console access localhost only

In org.apache.karaf.shell.cfg, sshHost is 127.0.0.1 by default. Can you please change that (in time for OH4) to be 0.0.0.0. That's a fairly annoying restriction that'll do more harm than good . For most installs this goes unchanged.

So the console cannot be used from remote on default (and hence 99% of) installs. The config is also getting reset on any OH upgrade which is very annoying even to experts. ( 'Security' is a bad argument here as you have to protect your installation from the internet anyway and anyone interested can do easily)
