DNS name doesn't work for multicast in Windows client

Description

See http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?p=84920.

Using udp://@video.domain.com works in the Mac client but in Windows it fails with "Unable to open 'udp://@video.domain.com'." Using udp://@239.192.1.1 works and DNS name does resolve (e.g., when using ping).

(In [17134]) Don't assume multicast address are in dotted notation - fixes #780. Not tested. Needs testing + backport.
