Avoid buffer overflow in RC4 loop comparison (#336) The rc4 function iterates over a buffer of size buffer_len who's maximum value is INT_MAX with a counter of type short that is not guaranteed to have maximum size INT_MAX. In circumstances where short is narrower than int and where buffer_len is larger than the maximum value of a short, it may be possible to loop infinitely as counter will overflow and never be greater than or equal to buffer_len. The solution is to make the comparison be between types of equal width. This commit defines counter as an int. Fix By: Fionn Fitzmaurice (@fionn)

Configuration option to limit number of UDP queries per ephemeral port (#549) Add a new ARES_OPT_UDP_MAX_QUERIES option with udp_max_queries parameter that can be passed to ares_init_options(). This value defaults to 0 (unlimited) to maintain existing compatibility, any positive number will cause new UDP ephemeral ports to be created once the threshold is reached, we'll call these 'connections' even though its technically wrong for UDP. Implementation Details: * Each server entry in a channel now has a linked-list of connections/ports for udp and tcp. The first connection in the list is the one most likely to be eligible to accept new queries. * Queries are now tracked by connection rather than by server. * Every time a query is detached from a connection, the connection that it was attached to will be checked to see if it needs to be cleaned up. * Insertion, lookup, and searching for connections has been implemented as O(1) complexity so the number of connections will not impact performance. * Remove is_broken from the server, it appears it would be set and immediately unset, so must have been invalidated via a prior patch. A future patch should probably track consecutive server errors and de-prioritize such servers. The code right now will always try servers in the order of configuration, so a bad server in the list will always be tried and may rely on timeout logic to try the next. * Various other cleanups to remove code duplication and for clarification.

`ares_channel` -> `ares_channel_t *`: don't bury the pointer (#595) `ares_channel` is defined as `typedef struct ares_channeldata *ares_channel;`. The problem with this, is it embeds the pointer into the typedef, which means an `ares_channel` can never be declared as `const` as if you write `const ares_channel channel`, that expands to `struct ares_channeldata * const ares_channel` and not `const struct ares_channeldata *channel`. We will now typedef `ares_channel_t` as `typedef struct ares_channeldata ares_channel_t;`, so if you write `const ares_channel_t *channel`, it properly expands to `const struct ares_channeldata *channel`. We are maintaining the old typedef for API compatibility with existing integrations, and due to typedef expansion this should not even cause any compiler warnings for existing code. There are no ABI implications with this change. I could be convinced to keep existing public functions as `ares_channel` if a sufficient argument exists, but internally we really need make this change for modern best practices. This change will allow us to internally use `const ares_channel_t *` where appropriate. Whether or not we decide to change any public interfaces to use `const` may require further discussion on if there might be ABI implications (I don't think so, but I'm also not 100% sure what a compiler internally does with `const` when emitting machine code ... I think more likely ABI implications would occur going the opposite direction). FYI, This PR was done via a combination of sed and clang-format, the only manual code change was the addition of the new typedef, and a couple doc fixes :) Fix By: Brad House (@bradh352)

.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBares_init_options(3)\fP function initializes a communications channel
for name service lookups. If it returns successfully,
\fBares_init_options(3)\fP will set the variable pointed to by
\fIchannelptr\fP to a handle used to identify the name service channel. The
caller should invoke \fIares_destroy(3)\fP on the handle when the channel is
no longer needed.
The \fIoptmask\fP parameter generally specifies which fields in the structure pointed to
by \fIoptions\fP are set, as follows:

Avoid buffer overflow in RC4 loop comparison (#336) The rc4 function iterates over a buffer of size buffer_len who's maximum value is INT_MAX with a counter of type short that is not guaranteed to have maximum size INT_MAX. In circumstances where short is narrower than int and where buffer_len is larger than the maximum value of a short, it may be possible to loop infinitely as counter will overflow and never be greater than or equal to buffer_len. The solution is to make the comparison be between types of equal width. This commit defines counter as an int. Fix By: Fionn Fitzmaurice (@fionn)

docs: provide better man page references When referring to another c-ares function use \fI function(3) \fP to let the webpage rendering find and cross-link them appropriately. SEE ALSO references should be ".BR name (3),", with a space before the open parenthesis. This helps the manpage to HTML renderer. Closes #565
