cmdmon: specify name instead of address in add request

Modify the request for adding a source to provide the name of the source
instead of its address (resolved in chronyc) in order to enable chronyd
to replace the source, support an "add pool" command, and enable an NTS
client to verify the server's certificate.

The name resolving does not block the response. Success is indicated
even if the name cannot be resolved, or a source with the same address
is already present.

To prevent unresolvable names from getting to chronyd, chronyc does not
send the request if it could not resolve the name itself (assuming they
are both running on the same host using the same resolver).
