Accept addr

To start receiving JSON-RPC requests, we'll need to configure a JSON-RPC accept address.

We'll add a rpc struct (RpcSettingsOpt) containing a rpc_listen address to our Args struct. It will look like this:

{{#include ../../../../../example/dchat/dchatd/src/main.rs:args}}

This encodes a default rpc_listen address on the port 51054. To be able to modify the default, we can also add rpc_listen to the default config at ../dchatd_config.toml as follows:

# dchat toml

[rpc]
## RPC listen address. 
rpc_listen = "tcp://127.0.0.1:51054"

## Disabled RPC methods
#rpc_disabled_methods = ["p2p.get_info"]

[net]
## Outbound connect slots. Required for outbound nodes.
outbound_connections = 5

# Whitelisted network transports for outbound connections
active_profiles = ["tcp"]

[net.profiles."tcp"]
## P2P accept addresses Required for inbound nodes.
inbound=["tcp://127.0.0.1:51554"]

## P2P external addresses. Required for inbound nodes.
external_addr=["tcp://127.0.0.1:51554"]

## Seed nodes to connect to. Required for inbound and outbound nodes.
seeds=["tcp://127.0.0.1:50515"]

Regenerate the config by deleting the previous one, rebuilding and rerunning dchatd. Now the rpc_listen address can be modified any time by editing the config file.
