Stephan Gerhold 06531f3db1 cdba: Add option to run cdba-server locally without ssh ...

cdba is mainly intended for remote usage, but it also works well for
controlling devices that you just need occasionally and then directly
connect to your local laptop instead of a remote server.

Another use case is if you just use cdba to power up a standard distro on a
remote board and then SSH into it remotely. To avoid interruptions, it's
better to start cdba locally on the server in a tmux session. That way,
temporary disconnections do not power down the board.

From a protocol perspective, everything is transferred through STDIN and
STDOUT. It makes no difference if we have ssh piping the data to a remote
server, or if the data is directly passed to the cdba-server binary started
locally. The functionality works exactly the same.

Add an option for this in the cdba client. If the -h <host> option is
omitted, cdba-server is started locally.
