The getaddrinfo(3) and gethostbyname(3) are used to return the address for a
given hostname. The getnameinfo(3) and gethostbyaddr(3) are used to return
hostname for a given address. Right now in casper, we have two limitations:
- NAME which allows resolving DNS names.
- ADDR which allows to do revert DNS lookups.
Before this change the rights was mixed up:
NAME - getnameinfo(3) and gethostbyname(3)
ADDR - gethostbyaddr(3) and getaddrinfo(3)
Which no matters on limitation allowed us to resolve DNS names and do DNS
lookups basically by using a different set of functions.
Now the NAME type allows getaddrinfo(3) and gethostbyname (3)functions,
and the ADDR names allow to use gethostbyaddr(3) and getnameinfo(3) functions.

The idea behinds mocks is that we don't need to ifdef a lot of code in
tools itself but those defines are hidden in the casper library.
Right now the mocks are implemented as define/inlines functions.
There was a very long discussion how this should be implemented.
This approach has some advantages like we don't need to link to any additional
libraries. Unfortunately there are also some disadvantages for example it is
easy to get library out of sync between two versions of functions or that we
need extra define to compile program with casper support.
This isn't an ideal solution but it's good enough for now and should simplify
capsicumizing programs. This also doesn't close us any other ways to do those
mocks and this should evolve in time.

of freefall.freebsd.org to unbreak the DNS tests
The address allocations for freefall.freebsd.org have changed in the past 4 years.
Use a more stable set of hardcoded addresses for now to make the tests succeed
reliably.
The hostname should be resolved dynamically instead of hardcoding the addresses in
the future. This is just a bandaid.

- Flushing stdout prevents the buffer from being printed twice, fixing
issues with stdout printing out the testplan, etc, twice.
- Don't print out raw source/line numbers; hide them behind comments.
