lncfg: detect tor resolution error case and fallback to system resolver

In this commit, we fix a bug that would cause resolution of items in
/etc/hosts (or the like) to fail as Tor wouldn't recognize them as
proper host names. With this commit, we'll catch this error and fall
back to the system's resolver.
