getting rid of gethostby* calls

getting rid of gethostby* calls

[Dan Nicolaescu]

Ulrich Drepper is trying to get rid of all the gethostby* calls in
Fedora. 
emacs has been given as an example of program that uses the gethostby*
functions.

An example on how to use getaddrinfo instead of gethostby* is here:

http://people.redhat.com/drepper/userapi-ipv6.html

There are just a few instances of gethostby* in the emacs tree, can
someone that understands that code please take a look? 

Thanks

Emacs itself already uses them only as a fallback, so no changes should
be needed.  The only place left is in lib-src/pop.c.

As emacs already uses getaddrinfo in process.c, I added getaddrinfo to pop.c
and sysdep.c as well.

Thank you.
