Refactor: Skip socket resolution, load device hostname/IP directly from file

- Remove socket.gethostname() and socket.gethostbyname() calls
- Device info now loads exclusively from device_info.txt
- Device hostname and IP are independent of server hostname
- Resolves DNS/socket errors on startup
- Device info file is primary config source for device identity
