fix(cli): resolve IP when dev URL host is unspecified, closes #13356 (#14115)

currently the `use_network_address_for_dev_url` function already detects Ipv4Addr::UNSPECIFIED to resolve the local IP address for mobile development when the dev URL host is 0.0.0.0, but we only call it when `--host` is provided or running on a physical device. This change detects the unspecified host early and force the resolution to run even for simulator builds
