    In sn2princ, getaddrinfo without AI_ADDRCONFIG
    
    When canonicalizing a principal, use AI_CANONNAME alone in the hint
    flags for getaddrinfo, for two reasons.  First, it works around a gnu
    libc bug where getaddrinfo does a PTR lookup for the canonical name
    (we tried to work around this in r24977 bug the addition of
    AI_ADDRCONFIG caused the same problem as the use of AF_INET).  Second,
    an IPv4-only host should be able create a principal for an IPv6-only
    host even if it can't contact the host.
    
    This does result in extra AAAA queries in the common case (IPv4-only
    host contacting IPv4-only service), which is unfortunate.  But we need
    to leave that optimization up to the platform at this point.
