Curl_gethostname: return un-qualified machine name

Fixed Curl_gethostname() so that it always returns the un-qualified
machine name rather than being dependent on the socket provider.

Note: The return of getenv("CURL_GETHOSTNAME") is also parsed in case
the developer / test harness provided a fully qualified domain name as
it's value as well.
