Subject: [PATCH] fix: node info accepts --rpc-url as fallback for --ip

The node info command required --ip while every other command uses the
global --rpc-url flag. Now node info checks --ip first, then falls
back to --rpc-url, making it consistent with the rest of the CLI.

--ip is preserved for backward compatibility.

Fixes #24
