[PATCH] Add a local implementation of hstrerror for the system which do not have it

[Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com>]

The function converts the value of h_errno (last error of name
resolver library, see netdb.h). One of systems which supposedly do
not have the function is SunOS. POSIX does not mandate its presence.

Randal, you seem to have access to a SunOS system. Could you try to
compile your git with NO_IPV6 (if you already applied the previous
fix, which removed superflous calls to hstrerror), and than again
without it (just to be sure)?
