Alvaro Herrera 313f56ce2d Tweak libpq's PQhost, PQhostaddr, and psql's \connect
Fixes some problems introduced by 6e5f8d489acc:

* When reusing conninfo data from the previous connection in \connect,
  the host address should only be reused if it was specified as
  hostaddr; if it wasn't, then 'host' is resolved afresh.  We were
  reusing the same IP address, which ignores a possible DNS change
  as well as any other addresses that the name resolves to than the
  one that was used in the original connection.

* PQhost, PQhostaddr: Don't present user-specified hostaddr when we have
  an inet_net_ntop-produced equivalent address.  The latter has been
  put in canonical format, which is cleaner (so it produces "127.0.0.1"
  when given "host=2130706433", for example).

* Document the hostaddr-reusing aspect of \connect.

* Fix some code comments
