Give a better error message on invalid hostaddr option.
If you accidentally pass a host name in the hostaddr option, e.g.
hostaddr=localhost, you get an error like:
psql: could not translate host name "localhost" to address: Name or service not known
That's a bit confusing, because it implies that we tried to look up
"localhost" in DNS, but it failed. To make it more clear that we tried to
parse "localhost" as a numeric network address, change the message to:
psql: could not parse network address "localhost": Name or service not known
