Allow multiple hostaddrs to go with multiple hostnames.

Also fix two other issues, while we're at it:

* In error message on connection failure, if multiple network addresses
were given as the host option, as in "host=127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2", the
error message printed the address twice.

* If there were many more ports than hostnames, the error message would
always claim that there was one port too many, even if there was more than
one. For example, if you gave 2 hostnames and 5 ports, the error message
claimed that you gave 2 hostnames and 3 ports.

<title>Specifying Multiple Hosts</title>
<para>
It is possible to specify multiple hosts to connect to, so that they are
tried in the given order. In the Keyword/Value format, the <literal>host</>,
<literal>hostaddr</>, and <literal>port</> options accept a comma-separated
list of values. The same number of elements must be given in each option, such
that e.g. the first <literal>hostaddr</> corresponds to the first host name,
the second <literal>hostaddr</> corresponds to the second host name, and so
forth. As an exception, if only one <literal>port</literal> is specified, it
applies to all the hosts.
</para>
<para>
In the connection URI format, you can list multiple <literal>host:port</> pairs
separated by commas, in the <literal>host</> component of the URI. In either
format, a single hostname can also translate to multiple network addresses. A
common example of this is a host that has both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address.
</para>
<para>
When multiple hosts are specified, or when a single hostname is
translated to multiple addresses, all the hosts and addresses will be
tried in order, until one succeeds. If none of the hosts can be reached,
the connection fails. If a connection is established successfully, but
authentication fails, the remaining hosts in the list are not tried.
</para>
<para>
If a password file is used, you can have different passwords for
different hosts. All the other connection options are the same for every
host, it is not possible to e.g. specify a different username for
different hosts.
