Allow overriding the --host arg in the backend/start.sh script. When using Open WebUI behind a reverse proxy, especially when used with the trusted email header, you will want to only listen on localhost to avoid users from bypassing the proxy.

Changelog Entry

Added

HOST can be set in Docker or the start.sh script to set the backend listen address.
