Similar to libpq, you can now use multiple values in host, hostaddr, and port to try more than one server to connect to:
Additional hosts are added to Config.Multi. I originally looked at changing Config.{Host,Hostaddr,Port} to a slice, but I found this awkward to use both in the code here and as a client. I also looked at using a []Config, which I found similarly awkward.
Putting additional hosts in a separate struct field keeps things straight-forward for the common use case (just one host), and with the hosts() method it's fairly straight-forward to use. hosts() is not exported because it assumes Config is correctly validated, and I'm not sure if it's really useful for anyone else. But if there's a use-case for it then it can be exported.
