commit 86611afa44e30971076d651947987ce857712543
Author: Antonio Terceiro <terceiro@debian.org>
Date:   Tue Jun 24 15:15:12 2025 -0300

    Try apt-proxy from /etc/hosts before default gateway
    
    The network default gateway might be restrictive with regards to
    accepting (or immediately REJECTing) connections to arbitrary ports.
    Setting apt-proxy in /etc/hosts was a way of working around that, but
    that got broken by 56b604cd2 ("Try options that require resolving names
    last"). Simply reverting that would bring back an issues where name
    resolution might take too long, so that is not an option.
    
    This introduces a simplified /etc/hosts parser that seems to do The
    Right Thing™, and will resolve `apt-proxy` statically, based on what's
    defined there, without going into remote -- and potentially slow -- DNS
    calls.
    
    Closes: #1108265
