Pull request description:

  Don't allow resolving of `std::string`:s with embedded `NUL` characters.

  Avoid using C-style `NUL`-terminated strings as arguments in the `netbase` interface

  Add tests.

  The only place in where C-style `NUL`-terminated strings are actually needed is here:

  ```diff
  +    if (!ValidAsCString(name)) {
  +        return false;
  +    }
  ...
  -    int nErr = getaddrinfo(pszName, nullptr, &aiHint, &aiRes);
  +    int nErr = getaddrinfo(name.c_str(), nullptr, &aiHint, &aiRes);
       if (nErr)
           return false;
  ```

  Interface changes:

  ```diff
  -bool LookupHost(const char *pszName, std::vector<CNetAddr>& vIP, unsigned int nMaxSolutions, bool fAllowLookup);
  +bool LookupHost(const std::string& name, std::vector<CNetAddr>& vIP, unsigned int nMaxSolutions, bool fAllowLookup);

  -bool LookupHost(const char *pszName, CNetAddr& addr, bool fAllowLookup);
  +bool LookupHost(const std::string& name, CNetAddr& addr, bool fAllowLookup);

  -bool Lookup(const char *pszName, CService& addr, int portDefault, bool fAllowLookup);
  +bool Lookup(const std::string& name, CService& addr, int portDefault, bool fAllowLookup);

  -bool Lookup(const char *pszName, std::vector<CService>& vAddr, int portDefault, bool fAllowLookup, unsigned int nMaxSolutions);
  +bool Lookup(const std::string& name, std::vector<CService>& vAddr, int portDefault, bool fAllowLookup, unsigned int nMaxSolutions);

  -bool LookupSubNet(const char *pszName, CSubNet& subnet);
  +bool LookupSubNet(const std::string& strSubnet, CSubNet& subnet);

  -CService LookupNumeric(const char *pszName, int portDefault = 0);
  +CService LookupNumeric(const std::string& name, int portDefault = 0);

  -bool ConnectThroughProxy(const proxyType &proxy, const std::string& strDest, int port, const SOCKET& hSocketRet, int nTimeout, bool *outProxyConnectionFailed);
  +bool ConnectThroughProxy(const proxyType &proxy, const std::string& strDest, int port, const SOCKET& hSocketRet, int nTimeout, bool& outProxyConnectionFailed);
  ```

  It should be noted that the `ConnectThroughProxy` change (from `bool *outProxyConnectionFailed` to `bool& outProxyConnectionFailed`) has nothing to do with `NUL` handling but I thought it was worth doing when touching this file :)
