    _______________________________________________________

Details:

When a host has many IPs (like freenode server), WeeChat always connects to
server with same IP (first in list).
If this server is down, other servers are never tried, and WeeChat can't
connect at all.

Solution: try random IP in list, and if connection fails, try with other IPs.
