[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Eliminate use of obsolete gethostbyname() function (#1428)

We only actually used gethostbyname() for canonicalizing buildhost,
convert that to use getaddrinfo() instead: this is not a particularly
useful or interesting field so just grab whatever result comes first.

The other "use" was to initialize name services, but as we don't need
or use hostnames for any operation, we can just as well drop it. User
and group names are what we care about.
