Allow a single trailing `.` when validating FQDNs from SOCKS.
URI syntax (and DNS syntax) allows for a single trailing `.` to explicitly distinguish between a relative and absolute (fully-qualified) domain name. While this is redundant in that RFC 1928 DOMAINNAME addresses are *always* fully-qualified, certain clients blindly pass the trailing `.` along in the request. Fixes bug 16674; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha.

+ a single trailing '.' to cope with clients that pass FQDNs using that
+ syntax to explicitly indicate that the domain name is
