Some platforms may lack the NI_MAXHOST and NI_MAXSERV values in their
system headers, so ensure they are available.

NI_MAXHOST is missing from my platform, and it has no compatibility
definition anywhere.

    $ grep -FIR NI_MAXHOST
    imap-send.c:            char addr[NI_MAXHOST];
    connect.c:    static char addr[NI_MAXHOST];

I've been defining it in CFLAGS, but I noticed there is precedence for
this type of definition in git-compat-util.h.  This patch adds a
definition for compatibility.

In addition, all the documentation I've seen mentions NI_MAXHOST and
NI_MAXSERV together, so this also moves the NI_MAXSERV definition to
git-compat-util.h for consistency.
