On this line in host_source.go, nil is always being passed as the connection address param. That nil connection address will eventually get passed to here, which will panic.

To reproduce, I simply ran the hello world example in https://github.com/gocql/gocql/blob/master/example_test.go and get this panic if I'm on https://github.com/gocql/gocql/commit/f42e40c76c55a5d8b9a9032f1916c8cde79b7639 or later. The hello world test passes if I'm on a commit earlier than that.

I suspect that I'm missing something obvious because if this is in fact an issue, it should prevent all users from being able to connect with the driver yet I don't see any mention of this issue. I'm encountering this when upgrading the scylla fork of the driver in my app from a version that does not contain this commit to a version that does
