Console should not function as an open web proxy

[ycombinator]

Currently, its possible to use Console as an open web proxy because users can enter any base URL in the input box up top. Evidence (thanks @rashidkpc):

For now, the consensus is to remove the input box on the client-side and, on the server-side, only send requests to http://localhost:9200. In the future, we might allow user to configure a list of Elasticsearch base URLs that they can then select from on the client-side.

To clarify, the requests should be sent to whichever ES that kibana is configured to use rather than hardcoding localhost:9200.

Thanks @epixa. That makes more sense :)
