RFR: 7180557 - InetAddress.getLocalHost throws UnknownHostException on java7u5 on OSX

[Rob McKenna]

Hi folks,

Mac seems to have trouble looking up local hostnames using getaddrinfo 
unless a domain is set. The solution is to add a check with getifaddrs .

This fix replaces a usage of _ALLBSD_SOURCE with MACOSX. I haven't seen 
a canonical answer on whether this is the way to go so I figured trial 
by fire might get the discussion going.
