pam_access: rework resolving of tokens as hostname
* modules/pam_access/pam_access.c: separate resolving of IP addresses from hostnames. Don't resolve TTYs or display variables as hostname (#834). Add "nodns" option to disallow resolving of tokens as hostname. * modules/pam_access/pam_access.8.xml: document nodns option * modules/pam_access/access.conf.5.xml: document that hostnames should be written as FQHN.
