[issue16652] socket.getfqdn docs are not explicit enough about the algorithm.

New submission from R. David Murray: From the docs it isn't quite clear if getfqnd() does the equivalent of: gethostbyaddr('127.0.0.1') or gethostbyaddr(gethostbyname(gethostname())) It matters which it is, when debugging a host's name configuration and DNS server problems. --
