Sometimes you need to run a local server to receive updates from devices. For example, Shelly uses this to get updates pushed from devices directly to a CoAP or WS listener on Homey.

When running with docker, these listeners are running inside the docker container and currently not exposed, so impossible to access. This PR add the option to configure the exposed ports by docker, making it accessible on your host. Depending on your setup you might still need to configure your firewall and you should make sure that your machine IP is configured on the devices instead of the IP of the Homey (so, have a wrapper to resolve the actual IP of the device where the app is running instead of only relying on homey.cloud.getLocalAddress(), as is done here).

Note that using network host isn't a solution as that doesn't work for Windows, and I keep rebasing this small addition to be able to run the Shelly app.
