Show hostname in krfb connection info

Summary:
Using krfb as desktop support tool for ~250 desktops on LAN - 95% of the users aren't equipped to deal with reciting IP addresses accurately, so I wanted to add the hostname into the connection details as well, since it's easier for non-tech people to read that back.

Attached patch does this, and works internally for us - thoughts on doing it better:

  • hostnames as reported by the host are not necessarily accurate for network access, so
  • consider actually doing a nameserver lookup to verify
  • only show the hostname if you can verify
