    Fix crash when changing node restrictions with DNS lookup in progress
    
    Fixes bug 4259, bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha.  Bugfix by "Tey'".
    
    Original message by submitter:
    
      Changing nodes restrictions using a controller while Tor is doing
      DNS resolution could makes Tor crashes (on WinXP at least). The
      problem can be repeated by trying to reach a non-existent domain
      using Tor:
    
        curl --socks4a 127.0.0.1:9050 inexistantdomain.ext
    
      .. and changing the ExitNodes parameter through the control port
      before Tor returns a DNS resolution error (of course, the following
      command won't work directly if the control port is password
      protected):
    
        echo SETCONF ExitNodes=TinyTurtle | nc -v 127.0.0.1 9051
    
      Using a non-existent domain is needed to repeat the issue so that
      Tor takes a few seconds for resolving the domain (which allows us to
      change the configuration). Tor will crash while processing the
      configuration change.
    
      The bug is located in the addressmap_clear_excluded_trackexithosts
      method which iterates over the entries of the addresses map in order
      to check whether the changes made to the configuration will impact
      those entries. When a DNS resolving is in progress, the new_adress
      field of the associated entry will be set to NULL. The method
      doesn't expect this field to be NULL, hence the crash.
