Add Anti-Lockout Rules to Server Installs

[OhMyMndy]

Do not block all incoming connections by default, this makes sure that people who are remotely connected to the machine can still access it, instead of getting locked out.

This morning got locked out of two machines I remoted into (one through Citrix and one through TDP) after starting Portmaster.

At least having the option to start Portmaster with ports open to not lock yourself out would be great.

If this is a welcome change, I can maybe create a pull request for this feature later.

Also see, #685

Hey @OhMyMndy, thanks for the suggestion!

Currently, Portmaster is intended as a purely desktop focused application. We are exploring the server use cases, but without any priority. How we have done it until now is to configure initial settings on a local instance and then copy the config.json file to the server before installing.

I will talk with the team about how to improve this situation. Tracking this internally at CC#2401.
