Eliminate use of obsolete gethostbyname() function

We only actually used gethostbyname() for canonicalizing buildhost,
convert that to use getaddrinfo() instead, which actually has an
option for retrieving exactly what we want.

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.
