[issue30710] getaddrinfo raises OverflowError

Now I understand your idea. It looks reasonable to me. Could you create a pull request on GitHub? Please provide also tests, add a Misc/NEWS entry and add your name in Misc/ACKS.

But how large is the performance hit of this change? It adds at least one additional memory allocation for the str object. If the slowdown is significant perhaps it is worth to keep the old code as a fast path.
