hostip: support wildcard hosts
This adds support for wildcard hosts in CURLOPT_RESOLVE. These are try-last so any non-wildcard entry is resolved first. If specified, any host not matched by another CURLOPT_RESOLVE config will use this as fallback. Example send a.com to 10.0.0.1 and everything else to 10.0.0.2: curl --resolve *:443:10.0.0.2 --resolve a.com:443:10.0.0.1 \ https://a.com https://b.com This is probably quite similar to using: --connect-to a.com:443:10.0.0.1:443 --connect-to :443:10.0.0.2:443 Closes #3406 Reviewed-by: Daniel Stenberg <daniel@haxx.se>
