    Fix VNC access, when reverse DNS lookups fail

    If DNS is configured on a node in a way, so that reverse DNS look ups
    time out, noVNC will fail to connect to an instance with 'Connect
    timeout' error.

    The reverse DNS look up is done implicitly in BaseHTTPRequestHandler
    (part of standard library), when logging a request. It's not
    configurable, so the only way to disable it is to override the method
    of the base class.

    This is only true for the standard http server (used for novncproxy),
    as the eventlet implementation (used for xvpvncproxy) seems to use
    plain IP addresses without any reverse DNS look ups.
