This is not by far complete DNS handling but demonstrates that name
resolution works by printing the IP address type (IPv4 or IPv6) for each
found IP address.

The now legacy version of LimoX with GTK4 and libstrophe is now not part
of the main branch anymore. There might be a legacy branch keeping this
version at the time of reading.
This cut of implemented functionality is motivated by these reasons:
- Implementing XMPP is fun, educative and gives full control.
- Low level graphics with SDL2 is portable, fast, educative an mature.
- I do not have to use GLib and a crazy event loop anymore (run and hide)

It is mandatory to have an IP address to dial a TCP connection. FOr this
purpose the JID which is given by the user has to be converted into a
FQDN and then translated to an IP via DNS.
The function added with this commit implements this first part. The
extraction of the domain (more precisely the FQDN) from the JID.

It is currently evaluated if it is worth a trial to drop libstrophe as a
dependency and use a raw TCP connection and a XML library like expat to
implement the XMPP part. This would have the following advantages:
- fewer dependencies
- learning more about XMPP itself and less about libstrophe
- slower, but maybe easier implementation (XMPP doc is far more readable
/ extensive)
Because of these reasons the `limox_sdl2` version was switched to a
dummy XMPP implementation `xmpp.c` which acts now as a test field for
XMPP hacking.
