This function, bufferevent_socket_connect_hostname() can either use
evdns to do the resolve, or use a new function (evutil_resolve) that
uses getaddrinfo or gethostbyname, like http.c does now.
This function is meant to eventually replace the hostname resolution mess in
http.c.

We need to comb the rest of the code to make sure that we don't blindly wrap
functions in LOCK(x), UNLOCK(x) when those functions might contain a FREE(x)
in the middle.
Rocco Carbone found and reported this bug.

Generally speaking, it way better to event_assign() an event when you
allocate it than to assign it before every time you event_add it: if
it is already event_add()ed, the assign will mess it up so that it
doesn't _look_ added, and event_add() will insert a second copy.
Later, event_del() will only delete the second copy. Eventually, the
event_base will have a dangling pointer to freed memory. Ouch!

Others may remain. I wasn't able to get gcc --std=c89 to build libevent
at all, so I don't know what compiler the original reporter is using here.
Note that this change requires us to disable the part of our rpc code
that uses variadic macros when using a non-gcc compiler. This is a
problem if we want our rpc api to be portable.

The bug could occur when a nameserver was marked as up, but then an
outstanding probe sent to the nameserver failed. Now, evdns_up() cancels
any outstanding probe.

This patch adds a new set of EVUTIL_IS* functions to replace use of
the ctypes is* functions in all cases where we care about characters'
interpretations in net ascii rather than in the locale. For example,
when we're working with DNS hostnames, we don't want to do the 0x20
hack on non-ascii characters, even if the host thinks they should be
isalpha.

You do not want to know about the 2 hours I just spent tracking down
an evdns bug that only affected me on some platforms to the way we
were using sockaddr* and sockaddr_in*. Suffice it to say that I do
not think this is the only C99-aliasing-dubiousness in our code, nor
that I am smart enough to keep my code correct with the GCC's strict
aliasing optimizations in place.

Previously, we used inconsistent and incompletely ported ifdefs.
(We don't use these macros in platform-specific files like evpoll.c, since
they don't need to work on win32.)
