resolved: beef up logic for suppressing "localhost" entry in /etc/hosts

Either suppress the entry entirely, or not at all. But do not suppress
the "localhost" names we recognize, leaving the ones we do not in place.

On Fedora, where "localhost4.localdomain4" is among those listed in
/etc/hosts for 127.0.0.1 we'd thus otherwise drop the "localhost" but
keep the "localhost4.localdomain4" and then on reverse lookups only
return that, which is highly confusing.
