Hot Rod needs proxy address and port to work on cloud-like envs
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ISPN-494
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-494
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Cache Server
            Reporter: Galder Zamarreno
            Assignee: Galder Zamarreno
             Fix For: 4.1.0.CR1


To get HotRod to work properly on environments such as ec2, a configurable proxy host+port are needed.

Example:
- Hot Rod running on an ec2 instance with elastic IP address 1.2.3.4
- If you bind to 0.0.0.0, Hot Rod server starts and serves requests via 1.2.3.4, but the exposed address in the topology is 0.0.0.0. Hence, client fails to connect to 0.0.0.0.
- You can't have the Hot Rod bind to 1.2.3.4 since it does not exist in the ec2 instance.
- So, a proxy address and port are needed so that these are published in topology views to external clients.
