[Toybox] [PATCH 1/4] Implement hostname lookups in display_routes

[Eric Molitor]

Mmh, I just switched my dev machine from Alpine to Ubuntu before working on
this, normally I would have caught this.

Rob, what are your thoughts on using GitHub actions to build toybox on
Alpine, Ubuntu and MacOS and running through the test suite? This would
have caught this earlier. I'm happy to submit a patch to set this up if it
is desired.
