1.27 hardcode the "localhost" addresses
There's this new spec getting adopted that says "localhost" should always and
unconditionally be a local address and not get resolved by a DNS server. A
fine way for curl to fix this would be to simply hard-code the response to
127.0.0.1 and/or ::1 (depending on what IP versions that are requested). This
is what the browsers probably will do with this hostname.
