connect: factor out "looks like command line option" check

We reject hostnames that start with a dash because they may
be confused for command-line options. Let's factor out that
notion into a helper function, as we'll use it in more
places. And while it's simple now, it's not clear if some
systems might need more complex logic to handle all cases.
