Resolver.lookupByAddress

Synchronously reverse-resolves @address to determine its associated hostname.

If the DNS resolution fails, @error (if non-%NULL) will be set to a value from #GResolverError.

If @cancellable is non-%NULL, it can be used to cancel the operation, in which case @error (if non-%NULL) will be set to %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED.
