James Brunton f4725b98b0 Allow desktop app to connect to selfhosted servers (#4902)
# Description of Changes
Changes the desktop app to allow connections to self-hosted servers on
first startup. This was quite involved and hit loads of CORS issues all
through the stack, but I think it's working now. This also changes the
bundled backend to spawn on an OS-decided port rather than always
spawning on `8080`, which means that the user can have other things
running on port `8080` now and the app will still work fine. There were
quite a few places that needed to be updated to decouple the app from
explicitly using `8080` and I was originally going to split those
changes out into another PR (#4939), but I couldn't get it working
independently in the time I had, so the diff here is just going to be
complex and contian two distinct changes - sorry 🙁
