Subject: [PATCH] configure: only check in the watt library if WATT_ROOT is set

Only look for gethostbyname in libwatt in $WATT_ROOT/lib if WATT_ROOT
has actually been set. This avoids configure trying to search in /lib,
which won't every succeed and can cause problems in cross builds which
check that host paths are not being searched.

Closes #22380
