long timeout on startup

[mc-butler]

Important

This issue was migrated from Trac:

Origin	https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/3082
Reporter	nadvornik

mc calls gethostbyname() at least 6 times on startup. When there is some problem with DNS, it can lead to very long timeouts (like 5 minutes).

The attached patch reduces the number of gethostbyname calls to one.

It could be further improved by calling the smbfs initialization only if the smbfs is really used.
