Work around nytimes.com's broken hostnames in our SOCKS checks.

RFC 952 is approximately 30 years old, and people are failing to comply,
by serving A records with '_' as part of the hostname.  Since relaxing
the check is a QOL improvement for our userbase, relax the check to
allow such abominations as destinations, especially since there are
likely to be other similarly misconfigured domains out there.
