fix off-by-one in checking hostname length in new resolver backend

this bug was introduced in the recent resolver overhaul commits. it
likely had visible symptoms. these were probably limited to wrongly
accepting truncated versions of over-long names (vs rejecting them),
as opposed to stack-based overflows or anything more severe, but no
extensive checks were made. there have been no releases where this bug
was present.
