Modify `e_gethostbyname_r()' so that it doesn't report an error if the
5-argument `gethostbyname_r()' returns a non-NULL hostent and a nonzero herr. This fixes the "Cannot resolve localhost" error on GNU/Linux with libc 2.2.x. svn path=/trunk/; revision=9888

+ * e-host-utils.c (e_gethostbyname_r)
+ [HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R && GETHOSTBYNAME_R_FIVE_ARGS]: Set `*herr'
+ to zero if the function returns a non-NULL pointer to the hostent.
+ According to the docs, a returned non-NULL hostent always means
+ "no error" no matter what the returned value of `herr' is. [And
+ in fact, at least on libc 2.2.3, trying to resolve `localhost'
+ sets herr to `HOST_NOT_FOUND' even if the name is resolved
+ correctly and the returned hostent is non-NULL.]
