Make puppeth play nice with domainless setups

[karalabe]

Originally Puppeth was implemented so it can run web services both on raw ports on domain-less machines, as well as using port sharing behind reverse proxies and domains. Since we mostly used Puppeth in house for Rinkeby only, the domain-less mode of operation got broken without anyone noticing.

This issue is here to verify which functionality works still correctly and which got broken for domain-less setups and to patch them up. Note, this issue should only be started when #15390 is merged since that's a huge pending change.

For what its worth:

Deploying to remote servers using user@ip for each server setup works for:

• Ethstats
• Bootnode
• Sealnode
• Faucet

Not Dashboard

Because I've only tested the current 1.7.3 version (not Devcon demo), it is hard to say if those changes broke or fixed some of the issues I currently have.

I also deploy each instance on separate ports.

Port sharing also doesn't work with domain-less deployments. I'll be playing around on a homenetwork of servers and VMs this month. I'll have more info on what doesn't work as time continues.
