Title:
  libnss-resolve treats two trailing dots on a domain name incorrectly

Status in systemd:
  New
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  libnss-resolve is an optional component not used by default in xenial. 
However it treats doubledot incorrectly, meaning it gets resolved when it 
shouldn't.

  [Fix]
  Cherrypick upstream patch to resolve this issue.

  [Testcase]

  * Enable resolve nss module
  * attempt resolving www.gnu.org..
  * It should fail to resolve

  (base)adconrad@nosferatu:~$ getent ahostsv4 www.gnu.org..
  208.118.235.148 STREAM wildebeest.gnu.org
  208.118.235.148 DGRAM
  208.118.235.148 RAW
  (base)adconrad@nosferatu:~$ sudo sed -i -e 's/ resolve dns/ dns/' 
/etc/nsswitch.conf
  (base)adconrad@nosferatu:~$ getent ahostsv4 www.gnu.org..
  (base)adconrad@nosferatu:~$ sudo sed -i -e 's/ dns/ resolve dns/' 
/etc/nsswitch.conf
  (base)adconrad@nosferatu:~$ getent ahostsv4 www.gnu.org..
  208.118.235.148 STREAM wildebeest.gnu.org
  208.118.235.148 DGRAM
  208.118.235.148 RAW
  (base)adconrad@nosferatu:~$

  This is responsible for the new regression in glibc:

  ----------
  FAIL: posix/tst-getaddrinfo5
  original exit status 1
  resolving "localhost." worked, proceeding to test
  resolving "localhost.." failed, test passed
  resolving "www.gnu.org." worked, proceeding to test
  resolving "www.gnu.org.." worked, test failed
  ----------

  [Regression potential]
  Minimal, since this component is not used by default. However, systems that 
have this enabled exhibit standards non-compliant behavior. It is not expected 
for anybody to depend on this broken behavior.
