   ### Issues
   
   - [ ] My PR addresses the following Helix issues and references them in the 
PR description:
   
   Starting a ZK server is very time consuming and it's affecting the 
productivity while performing debugging integration tests. This PR tries aims 
to optimize the start time.
   
   ### Description
   
   - [ ] Here are some details about my PR, including screenshots of any UI 
changes:
   
   Currently `ZkServer.start()` queries all of the network interfaces to find 
if `localhost` is present in the interfaces whereas it will always be present 
since we manually add 
[localhost](https://github.com/apache/helix/blob/386a77d566f1dc0b480c3bcbdb4a2880a8b8a4a9/zookeeper-api/src/main/java/org/apache/helix/zookeeper/zkclient/NetworkUtil.java#L43)
 to the list of resolved network ips and hostnames.  The call to 
`NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces` is very expensive and is the reason for 
the increased time to start the Zk server. Also, the sad part is we invoke the 
same method twice one just for logging and other for verifying 😞 
   
   Since ZKServer never accepts and Zk hostname to connect the check to verify 
if the port is busy should be sufficient. 
   
   ### Tests
   
   `ZkServer` is utility class and doesn't have any unit tests. However since 
the other integration tests uses this class to spin up a ZK server, they will 
be tested as part of the CI. I ensured Helix examples ran successfully.
