Copy and store addrinfo in libpq-owned private memory

This refactors libpq to copy addrinfos returned by getaddrinfo to
memory owned by libpq such that future improvements can alter for
example the order of entries.

As a nice side effect of this refactor the mechanism for iteration
over addresses in PQconnectPoll is now identical to its iteration
over hosts.
