libstore: fix port binding in __darwinAllowLocalNetworking sandbox

In d60c3f7f7c, this was changed to close a
hole in the sandbox. Unfortunately, this was too restrictive such that it
made local port binding fail, thus making derivations that needed
`__darwinAllowLocalNetworking` gain nearly nothing, and thus largely
fail (as the primary use for it is to enable port binding).

This unfortunately does mean that a sandboxed build process can, in
coordination with an actor outside the sandbox, escape the sandbox by
binding a port and connecting to it externally to send data. I do not
see a way around this with my experimentation and understanding of the
(quite undocumented) macOS sandbox profile API. Notably it seems not
possible to use the sandbox to do any of:

- Restrict the remote IP of inbound network requests
- Restrict the address being bound to

As such, the `(local ip "*:*")` here appears to be functionally no
different than `(local ip "localhost:*")` (however it *should* be
different than removing the filter entirely, as that would make it also
apply to non-IP networking). Doing `(allow network-inbound (require-all
(local ip "localhost:*") (remote ip "localhost:*")))` causes listening
to fail.

Note that `network-inbound` implies `network-bind`.
