I have had an attempt at trying to use Curl_resolv() and
Curl_resolv_timeout() but unfortunately the CANONICAL name is always empty.
It would appear that the underlying Curl_resolver_getaddrinfo() does not set
the ai_flags to include: AI_CANONNAME :(

I have attached my version of Curl_gethostname.c and .h so would really
appreciate your guidance on this.

Cheers

Steve
