#7515: Better definition for ADDRMAP events

The ADDRMAP specification is making me twitch for a few reasons...
* It doesn't say what the events do. My guess from seeing a few is that it
simply indicates DNS resolution. However, the spec doesn't make this clear
and it allows hostnames to be resolved to other hostnames (I'm guessing
that is a mistake).
* The errors are undefined. An 'XXXX' is pretty bad - I hope we can at
least say what the error code can include.
* The spec summary has some mistakes. For instance, it doen't list
GMTExpiry as being optional (despite saying so below), and it should make
it clear that 'error' and 'GMTExpiry' are key/value entries. My first
thought when I saw this event was "WTF? They have an optional positional
argument?!? Gah!"
Patch is available in my 'addrmap' branch...
