node: perform DNS lookup with timeout

Passed the hostname_resolution_timeout down to the functions
responsible for DNS resolution logic.

Created a pub(crate) error type to distinguish between errors that
can occur during hostname resolution. Notice: it's pub(crate) since
the users of this API only emit logs in case of error. The errors are
not passed to public API.

Created a `lookup_host_with_timeout` function, and extracted
some logic here. The purpose is not to introduce complex branching
in original function.
