The IP_ADDRESS setting used to be in there for figuring out what
address to bind the PASV port to. That code was changed a while
ago to use getsockname() instead, so it's not needed any more.

I removed the IP_ADDRESS and HOSTNAME globals, and <ftp_server> now
defaults its hostname to socket.gethostname(), which shouldn't fail
in any case - but even if it does it can be avoided by passing in the
hostname parameter.

There's actually no reason to even have the hostname (other than
reporting status), but I'm loath to remove it completely...
