[2.0 PATCH] skip resolving URI hostname w/ ProxyRemote and no ProxyBlock

In the case where we're handing off to another proxy server by way of
ProxyRemote, 2.0 tries to resolve the hostname in the request, which
it may not be able to do under some topologies.

Patch skips looking up the hostname in the URI when forwarding request
to another proxy server AND no ProxyBlock directives exist in the
configuration.

2.1 is substantially different in this area and seems to be broken in
the other direction -- while ProxyRemote'ing it never resolves the URI
hostname even when it needs to check it against ProxyBlock entries (it
checks blocked entries against the name of the next proxy).   See
