Yawning Angel 3f336966a2 Work around nytimes.com's broken hostnames in our SOCKS checks.
RFC 952 is approximately 30 years old, and people are failing to comply,
by serving A records with '_' as part of the hostname.  Since relaxing
the check is a QOL improvement for our userbase, relax the check to
allow such abominations as destinations, especially since there are
likely to be other similarly misconfigured domains out there.

o Minor features (client):
- Relax the validation done to hostnames in SOCKS5 requests, and allow
'_' to cope with domains observed in the wild that are serving non-RFC
compliant records. Resolves ticket 16430.
