rsync can now connect to IDN (internationalized domain name) hosts, and IDN names are recognized in a daemon's hosts allow/deny.

Closes #851.

Apologies, I have been attending to some personal matters recently. This needs careful review against IDNA/punycode behaviour and daemon allow/deny matching semantics before merge. I would want tests covering Unicode input, punycode input, mixed-case hostnames, invalid IDNs and allow/deny matching to make sure this does not widen host access unexpectedly.
