Feature #13097: Deprecate Socket.gethostbyaddr and Socket.gethostbyname

Is there a reason to keep these methods around? They were marked obsolete by POSIX.1-2001 and the POSIX.1-2008 removes the specifications of gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr recommending the use of getaddrinfo and getnameinfo instead. If they are kept because of Ruby backward compatibility, shouldn't they be re-implemented by these modern interfaces?
