Summary: socketmodule doesn't compile on strict POSIX systems

Initial Comment:
socketmodule uses the functions: 
- hstrerror 
- inet_aton 
- inet_pton 
 
and definitions: 
- NI_MAXHOST 
- NI_MAXSERV 
 
which aren't defined by IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 Edition 
(regarding to 
http://www.unix.org/single_unix_specification/). 
 
The attached patch changes configure.in so that configure 
tries to take the adress of the functions rather than the 
autoconf library function check. Because with the later the 
POSIX/POSIX_C_SOURCE/XOPEN etc definitions are not 
set. It also changes socketmodule.c to define NI_MAXHOST 
and NI_MAXSERV if they haven't been defined already. 
This fixes compilation of socketmodule on: 
NetBSD 1.6R i386
