*     Set status of a host+address item          *
*************************************************/

/* This function is passed a host_item which contains a host name and an
IP address string. Its job is to set the status of the address if it is not
already set (indicated by hstatus_unknown). The possible values are:

   hstatus_usable    the address is not listed in the unusable tree, and does
                     not have a retry record, OR the time is past the next
                     try time, OR the message has been on the queue for more
                     than the maximum retry time for a failing host

   hstatus_unusable  the address is listed in the unusable tree, or does have
                     a retry record, and the time is not yet at the next retry
                     time.

   hstatus_unusable_expired  as above, but also the retry time has expired
                     for this address.

The reason a delivery is permitted when a message has been around for a very
long time is to allow the ultimate address timeout to operate after a delivery
failure. Otherwise some messages may stick around without being tried for too
long.

If a host retry record is retrieved from the hints database, the time of last
trying is filled into the last_try field of the host block. If a host is
generally usable, a check is made to see if there is a retry delay on this
specific message at this host.

If a non-standard port is being used, it is added to the retry key.

Arguments:
  domain              the address domain
  host                pointer to a host item
  portstring          "" for standard port, ":xxxx" for a non-standard port
  include_ip_address  TRUE to include the address in the key - this is
                        usual, but sometimes is not wanted
  retry_host_key      where to put a pointer to the key for the host-specific
                        retry record, if one is read and the host is usable
  retry_message_key   where to put a pointer to the key for the message+host
                        retry record, if one is read and the host is usable

Returns:    TRUE if the host has expired but is usable because
             its retry time has come

for example, if routing was deferred but then succeeded, and delivery then
deferred. In that case there is a delete item for the routing retry, and an
updating item for the delivery.

delivery subprocesses, the address starts "clean", with no retry items carried
in.)

These items are used at the end of a delivery attempt to update the retry
database. The keys start R: for routing delays and T: for transport delays.

        it is larger than the time since first failure. It may be that the
