Fix address resolution for columns.
Have address_to_name() be a routine that takes an address and returns a string with a "sufficiently long" lifetime for use in columns, using the address type's addr_name_res_str routine for most address types, rather than having a too-small set of address types wired into it. It replaces both the internal solve_address_to_name() routine and get_addr_name(), and can, for example, handle the special WLAN address types rather than leaving them unresolved even with an ethers file.
