whois: special case certain query suffixes

This extends the existing support for -NORID handles
to include -NICAT, -ARIN, and -RIPE handles.

The suffix machinery is also used to work around a problem with
lack of referrals from the Nominet server for .uk: names under
.ac.uk need to be queried directly at JANET's whois server.
