Support joining games over DNS including IDNs

My friends and I started playing BGEE together a few months ago, and one small detail we weren't too happy with was the fact that the game wouldn't accept a DNS to join a game, only an explicit IP address. We sometimes use them to play together, since many modern game engines support them and Steam isn't all that reliable. It would be nice to see the Enhanced Edition games allow this as well.

Also, given that the game supports Unicode characters, it'd be great to see this feature working with internationalized domain names, such as ñandú.cl or .みんな domains.
