hostip: remove the debug code for LocalHost

The Curl_resolv() had special code (when built in debug mode) for when
resolving the host name "LocalHost" (using that exact casing). It would
then get the host name from the --interface option instead.

This development-only feature was not used by anything (anymore) and we
have the --resolve feature if we want to play similar tricks properly
going forward.

Closes #7044
