The former. This is necessary if I want to connect to Patchwork from
another container or VM, where 'localhost' refers to something other
than the host. In my case, I want to talk to Patchwork from a Jenkins
container [1]. For development approaches, this seems easier than
asking someone to find their docker container IP address and set the
option manually.

Yup, same thing here.

I haven't tested this (nor used the Vagrant image in a while - I really
need to bump that to Xenial) but I'd imagine so, yes.
