[PATCHv3] ident.c: add support for IPv6

[Elia Pinto]

Add IPv6 support by implementing name resolution with the
protocol agnostic getaddrinfo(3) API. The old gethostbyname(3)
code is still available when git is compiled with NO_IPV6.

This is the third version of the patch ($gmane/280488)
Changes from previous:

- Simplified the implementation, adding the new
function canonical_name (Jeff King) ($gmane/281479).
Fixed a new typo introduced in the second version.

Thanks, I think this keeps add_domainname() a lot cleaner. There are a
few problems:

Our style is to put whitespace between operators (so "int status = -1;",
and other places below).

This line (and the others) was also indented with spaces, not tabs.

We do C89-style no-decl-after-statement. But this "gai" is only
used once, so we can just lump it into the next conditional.

I think you are missing a "return status" here.

We always put conditional bodies on the next line, even if they are
one-liners.

Here's what I've queued, addressing those. No need to re-send if you're
happy with it:
