Remove MULTI_PTRS_ARE_ALIASES in dns-hosts.c
The code in gethnamaddr.c for gethostbyaddr used and set this macro to allow multiple PTR records to be added as aliases. This was useful for gethostbyaddr since it returns a hostent structure, which can return aliases. The gethnamaddr.c source however is unused in glibc since pretty much forever. Instead, the DNS lookup bits for gethostbyaddr (as well as getnameinfo) are implemented in dns-hosts.c and in that implementation all but one (the first one) of the multiple PTR records are ignored. Since gethnamaddr.c is essentially dead code, ignore that implementation and replace the MULTI_PTRS_ARE_ALIASES bit with a comment mentioning that bind adds PTR records as aliases while we don't.
