fix the crash by adding error handling code to gethostbyname

The program will crash when setting a wrong host.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load the plugin.
Configuration -> Plugins -> Load -> clams.so -> Open -> Close

2. Set a wrong host name.
Configuration -> Preferences -> Plugins -> Clam AntiVirus -> check Enable virus
scanning -> uncheck Automatic configuration -> Remote Host: WrongHost -> Port:
10010 -> Apply

The reason is that there is no error handling code after calling function
"gethostbyname". 

The following patch will solve this problem.
