log: fix deadlock obtaining hostname (related CVE-2018-6764)

Browse Source 
The fix for CVE-2018-6764 introduced a potential deadlock scenario
that gets triggered by the NSS module when virGetHostname() calls
getaddrinfo to resolve the hostname:

Fortunately the extra stuff virGetHostname does is totally irrelevant to
the needs of the logging code, so we can just inline a call to the
native hostname() syscall directly.
