[Issue 9305] ldap_connect_to_host: Return code from getaddrinfo() discarded, troubleshooting difficult

The ldap_connect_to_host() function needs to return proper error
codes.
There are no suitable error codes defined in the LDAP API to give more specific
feedback. Just returning the getaddrinfo error code directly would be
non-portable and ambiguous. (What happens if libldap was built using
gethostbyaddr
instead? That has a completely different set of error codes. How is the caller
supposed to know what they mean?)
