Details:

This is not a well-known behaviour of DNS names, but a trailing dot in a
domain name is technically correct to make it a fully-qualified domain name.
I.e. it won't search by appending any DNS search domains.

Currently, lwIP doesn't implement any DNS search domain list feature. But
hopefully it may in future.
