pledge: telnet should not verify if hostname is a fully qualified domain

Hi tech@, I have been noticing coredumps from telnet on my laptop for some time now and finally found an evening to investigate it. The typical use case: $ telnet localhost 22 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.2 ^] telnet> quit Connection

pledge telnet

I really want to delete telnet entirely, but there are still occasions when someone might want to use it on an intranet. Other telnet tools are probably worse shape. This adds two pledge calls. The subshell and skey support are removed (you can use ^Z), and you cannot start a new telnet
