Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Network connections for some users fail (in some cases a direct
  interface, in others when connecting a VPN) because the 'host' command
  to check for .local in DNS called by /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-
  check-dns.sh never times out like it should - leaving the script
  hanging indefinitely blocking interface up and start-up. This appears
  to be a bug in host caused in some circumstances however we implement
  a workaround to call it under 'timeout' as the issue with 'host' has
  not easily been identified, and in any case acts as a fall-back.

  [Test Case]

   * Multiple people have been unable to create a reproducer on a
  generic machine (e.g. it does not occur in a VM), I have a specific
  machine I can reproduce it on (a Skull Canyon NUC with Intel I219-LM)
  by simply "ifdown br0; ifup br0" and there are clearly 10s of other
  users affected in varying circumstances that all involve the same
  symptoms but no clear test case exists. Best I can suggest is that I
  test the patch on my system to ensure it works as expected, and the
  change is only 1 line which is fairly easily auditible and
  understandable.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The change is a single line change to the shell script to call host with 
"timeout". When tested on working and non-working system this appears to 
function as expected. I believe the regression potential for this is 
subsequently low.
   * In attempt to anticipate possible issues, I checked that the timeout 
command is in the same path (/usr/bin) as the host command that is already 
called without a path, and the coreutils package (which contains timeout) is an 
Essential package. I also checked that timeout is not a built-in in bash, for 
those that have changed /bin/sh to bash (just in case).

  [Other Info]
   
   * N/A

  [Original Bug Description]

  On 18.04 Openconnect connects successfully to any of multiple VPN
  concentrators but network traffic does not flow across the VPN tunnel
  connection. When testing on 16.04 this works flawlessly. This also
  worked on this system when it was on 17.10.

  I have tried reducing the mtu of the tun0 network device but this has
  not resulted in me being able to successfully ping the IP address.

  Example showing ping attempt to the IP of DNS server:

  ~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
  # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
  #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
  # 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver.
  # run "systemd-resolve --status" to see details about the actual nameservers.

  nameserver 127.0.0.53
