Currently the repl server is bound to 0.0.0.0, which is not great for
security and makes running the tests a bit disruptive on macOS.
This binds it to 127.0.0.1 instead.
CHANGELOG_BEGIN
- [DAML Repl - Experimental] The REPL server will now bind to 127.0.0.1
instead of 0.0.0.0.

* Graceful error handling in `daml repl`
This PR changes `daml repl` to handle errors (parse errors, type
errors, unsupported statement errors, script errors) gracefully
and just emit an error message instead of tearing down the whole
process.
This gets the repl into a state where I think it’s sufficiently
user-friendly to be released (obviously there are tons of potential
improvements). The only thing missing before I’m comfortable
mentioning this in release notes and uninternalizing it are docs.
If you think there is something crucial that needs to be addressed
before, let me know.

* why is windows
As mentioned in the title, this is still very experimental and needs
more work before we want to advertise it. However, the code is in a
somewhat reasonable shape, there are tests and I think even in the
current state it is already useful. Also this PR is already getting
very large so I don’t want to hold off much longer before merging this.
It is included in the SDK but hidden from `damlc --help` and `daml
--help` until the most pressing issues are addressed (primarily around
making sure that it doesn’t just shut down if you have a type error
and better error messages in general).
