lib/api: Treat *.localhost as valid localhost addresses (#7412) (ref #4815)

Browse Source 
This loosens the ‘is this localhost?’ check to include *.localhost host
names.

This allows for clearer (hence better) names to be used in browsers,
e.g. when accessing a remote syncthing instance ‘foo’ using a ssh port
forward, one can use foo.localhost to remind oneself which one is which.
💡 Without these changes, Syncthing shows a ‘Host check error’ when
pointing a browser at http://foo.localhost/, and with these changes, the
interface loads as usual.

The .localhost top level domain is a reserved top-level domain (RFC 2606):

> The ".localhost" TLD has traditionally been statically defined in
> host DNS implementations as having an A record pointing to the
> loop back IP address and is reserved for such use.  Any other use
> would conflict with widely deployed code which assumes this use.
> – https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2606

As Wikipedia puts it:

> This allows the use of these names for either documentation purposes
or in local testing scenarios. – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.localhost

On Linux systems, systemd-resolved resolves *.localhost, on purpose:
