Get local hostname more precisely in k5test.py

socket.getfqdn() tries to produce a result containing a period, so it
may disagree with krb5_sname_to_principal's result--for example, in
Fedora's default DHCP configuration.  Use getaddrinfo and getnameinfo
calls mirroring krb5_sname_to_principal's logic instead.
