Subject: [PATCH] core: extract host name using avahi_unescape_label()

Previously we could create invalid escape sequence when we split the
string on dot. For example, from valid host name "foo\\.bar" we have
created invalid name "foo\\" and tried to set that as the host name
which crashed the daemon.

Fixes #453
