Support for name lookups in -connect and -addnode

* A new option -dns is introduced that enables name lookups in
  -connect and -addnode, which is not enabled by default,
  as it may be considered a security issue.
* A Lookup function is added that supports retrieving one or
  more addresses based on a host name
* CAddress constructors (optionally) support name lookups.
* The different places in the source code that did name lookups
  are refactored to use NameLookup or CAddress instead (dns seeding,
  irc server lookup, getexternalip, ...).
* Removed ToStringLog() from CAddress, and switched to ToString(),
  since it was empty.
