fetchmailconf.py: hostname qualification fixup
If socket.gethostname() returns a qualified name, don't look further, to match fetchmail's behaviour - in case of an FQDN /etc/hostname with broken /etc/hosts, this helps us survive. Else, call socket.getfqdn() and not gethostbyaddr() in an attempt to qualify the hostname. Failing that, print an error message that tells the user to fix /etc/hosts, which has this canonical format: 10.9.8.7 host.example.org host on the assumption that that line and DNS might both be broken. Gitlab, fixes #12 reported by Sergey Alirzaev - the prior attempt fixed the wrong place (which also needed fixing). Bump version to 1.63.
