[tor-commits] [tor/master] Sandbox: Don't preseed getaddrinfo(gethostname()) in client mode.



commit 368825ff4529e78ec5be3f79aacf5a5bdd18ef6a

    Sandbox: Don't preseed getaddrinfo(gethostname()) in client mode.
    
    If we're a server with no address configured, resolve_my_hostname
    will need this.  But not otherwise.  And the preseeding itself can
    consume a few seconds if like tails we have no resolvers.
    
    Fixes bug 18548.

+      enabled and no DNS resolvers configured.  This should help TAILS
