Define static hostname ip4-localhost

Jonathan Dowland requested to merge jmtd/netcfg:ip4-localhost into master

This mirrors the corresponding static hostname that is defined for IPv6:

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

These lines exist because there are some situations where you can only conveniently specify a hostname but you wish to force a particular protocol. For the same reason "ip4-localhost" is useful.
