Subject: [PATCH iputils] ping,ping6: Fallback to numeric addresses while exiting

When user presses Ctrl-C ping waits for pr_addr() to be finished and
then exits. With poor connection it may result in stuck at
gethostbyaddr().

This patch changes handling of exit signals. After setting "exiting"
flag we longjmp() from gethostbyaddr() and print numeric addresses.
