[JDEV] SRV record and sending S2S

[Jeremie]

Since 1.2, the servers have used the standard SRV dns record type to
resolve domains into the actual servers that handle jabber.  An example
of such a record for bind for domain.org would look like:
_jabber._tcp    IN SRV  30 30 5269 servera.domain.org.

The RFC that describes SRV is:
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2052.html

The implementation of dialback is based on this document:
http://docs.jabber.org/draft-proto/html/dialback.html

The SRV lookups are implemented in the "dnsrv" component in the 1.4
server, and dialback is in the "dialback" component.
