This PR fixes a bug where the underlying Envoy process of a Connect gateway
would consume a full core of CPU if there is more than one sidecar or gateway
in a group. The utilization was being caused by Consul injecting an envoy_ready_listener
on 127.0.0.1:8443, of which only one of the Envoys would be able to bind to.
The others would spin in a hot loop trying to bind the listener.

As a workaround, we now specify -address during the Envoy bootstrap config
step, which is how Consul maps this ready listener. Because there is already
the envoy_admin_listener, and we need to continue supporting running gateways
in host networking mode, and in those case we want to use the same port
value coming from the service.port field, we now bind the admin listener to
the 127.0.0.2 loop-back interface, and the ready listener takes 127.0.0.1.

This shouldn't make a difference in the 99.999% use case where envoy is
being run in its official docker container. Advanced users can reference
${NOMAD_ENVOY_ADMIN_ADDR_<service>} (as they ought to) if needed,
as well as the new variable ${NOMAD_ENVOY_READY_ADDR_<service>} for the
envoy_ready_listener.
