Christian Heimes e28ec76898 Unify access to FQDN
FreeIPA's Python and C code used different approaches to get the FQDN of
the host. Some places assumed that gethostname() returns a FQDN. Other
code paths used glibc's resolver to resolve the current node name to a
FQDN.

Python code now uses the ipalib.constants.FQDN where a fully qualified
domain name is expected. The variable is initialized only once and avoids
potential DNS lookups.

C code uses a new helper function ipa_gethostfqdn() in util package. The
function implements similar logic as gethostfqdn() except it uses more
modern getaddrinfo(). The result is cached as well.
