Instead we just rely on the server_name passed in to the adjustment.

Waitress always used to assume that it would be running on a system where there was a correctly implemented DNS system that would return the hostname when doing a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address it was bound to, or that the system would return the IP address itself.
This is however not the case as seen in #312, #283, #268, #311 and issues in #149.
So now the logic is simplified even further. We don't attempt do anything of the sort anymore at all. Waitress has learned a new configuration value called
server_name. The default iswaitress.invalid.The only time that a user will see this value if the following is true: the request arrives over HTTP 1.0 and the remote client does not set a Host header.
In no other situation does the
server_namevalue, which is used in the WSGI environmentSERVER_NAMEmatter because it should be overridden with theHostheader sent by the client, or if using a Proxy, can be set onForwarded/X-Forwarded-Host.Closes #312
Closes #150
