nfs-utils: Remove all uses of AI_ADDRCONFIG
It was reported that, if only "lo" is up,
mount.nfs 127.0.0.1:/export /mount
fails with "Name or service not known".
"man 3 getaddrinfo" says this:
If hints.ai_flags includes the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag, then IPv4
addresses are returned in the list pointed to by res only if the
local system has at least one IPv4 address configured, and IPv6
addresses are only returned if the local system has at least
one IPv6 address configured.
The man page oversimplifies here. A review of glibc shows that
getaddrinfo(3) explicitly ignores loopback addresses when deciding
whether an IPv4 or IPv6 address is configured.
This behavior around loopback is a problem not just for mount.nfs,
but also for RPC daemons that have to start up before a system's
networking is fully configured and started. Given the history of
other problems with AI_ADDRCONFIG and the unpredictable behavior it
introduces, let's just remove it everywhere in nfs-utils.
This fix addresses:
