Fixes #725. @simonmichal - please test.

If the user provides a non-FQDN (such as xrootd instead of xrootd.cern.ch), this will detect the situation and use getaddrinfo to expand to the canonical name.

Note that the canonical name may be somewhat unexpected as it resolves CNAMEs all the way down to an A record. For example, if you set your search domain to unl.edu, then the canonical name for www is not www.unl.edu but rather unlcms-rs.autosplit.its-sys.unl.edu.

This also allows the environment variable XrdSecGSITrustDNS to be set to 0; if it is, all DNS lookups are skipped.
