I find these help messages confusing. How about "The name/address for
the bitbake server to bind to"?

How about "FATAL: The '--server-only' option requires a name/address to
bind to with the --bind option"?

To be honest, I'd also expect --bind to work without --server-only,
defaulting to "localhost" if it wasn't set but using the address/name
specified if it was. The usecase would be to attach a secondary UI to
the bitbake server during the build process for monitoring/control
purposes.
