Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When connecting to gdbserver multiple times in a row entering data each time is a bit annoying

Describe the solution you'd like

Accept empty IP address field as localhost. Not sure how to better communicate it to user, maybe using placeholder text.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Remember IP address and port from previous run.

Additional context

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the GDB server connection dialog in the Cutter codebase (likely in .ui and .cpp files). Modify the IP address field to accept an empty value as localhost (127.0.0.1) and potentially store the last used IP address using QSettings.
