InetAddress.java (loopbackAddress): Renamed from localhostAddress.

2004-08-13  Bryce McKinlay  <mckinlay@redhat.com>

	* java/net/InetAddress.java (loopbackAddress): Renamed from
	localhostAddress.
	(getByName): Return loopback address for null hostname, without
	security check. Use lookup(), not getAllByName.
	(getAllByName): Return loopback address for null hostname, without
	security check.
	* java/net/natInetAddressPosix.cc (lookup): Don't perform security
	check here.
