This introduces a concept of trusted name servers, for which the
AD bit is passed through to applications. For untrusted name
servers (the default), the AD bit in responses are cleared, to
provide a safe default.
This approach is very similar to the one suggested by Pavel Šimerda
in <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164339#c15>.
The DNS test framework in support/ is enhanced with support for
setting the AD bit in responses.
Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu.

This functionality was deprecated in glibc 2.25.
This commit only includes the core changes to remove the
functionality. It does not remove the RES_USE_INET6 handling in the
individual NSS service modules and the res_use_inet6 function.
These changes will happen in future commits.
A dot-less host name without an /etc/resolv.conf file caused an
assertion failure in update_from_conf because the function would not
deal correctly with the empty search list case.
Thanks to Andreas Schwab for debugging assistence.
This commit enhances the stub resolver to reload the configuration
in the per-thread _res object if the /etc/resolv.conf file has
changed. The resolver checks whether the application has modified
_res and will not overwrite the _res object in that case.
The struct resolv_context mechanism is used to check the
configuration file only once per name lookup.
This commit adds the remaining unchanging members (which are loaded
from /etc/resolv.conf) to struct resolv_conf.
The extended name server list is currently not used by the stub
resolver. The switch depends on a cleanup: The _u._ext.nssocks
array stores just a single socket, and needs to be replaced with
a single socket value.
(The compatibility gethostname implementation does not use the
extended addres sort list, either. Updating the compat code is
not worthwhile.)
This change uses the extended resolver state in struct resolv_conf to
store the search list. If applications have not patched the _res
object directly, this extended search list will be used by the stub
resolver during name resolution.
Some Linux kernels have very aggressive ICMP rate limiting on the
loopback interface. This commit introduces a minimal echoing DNS server
inside the network namespace, so that there is no need for ICMP error
messages anymore.
