Better name resolution error.

Attached is a patch for building OpenSSH 4.7p1 on Mac OS X.

This patch improves the generic "System error" message when hostname resolution fails.

Add helper function to handle EAI_SYSTEM

There's several other places where EAI_SYSTEM is not handled.  This patch adds a helper function for this and uses that for consistent handling.

The patch has been committed and will be 4.8.  The text of the message has not been changed, though.
