Brad House provided a fix for ares_save_options(): Apparently I overlooked

something with the ares_save_options() where it would try to do a malloc(0)
when no options of that type needed to be saved.  On most platforms, this was
fine because malloc(0) doesn't actually return NULL, but on AIX it does, so
ares_save_options would return ARES_ENOMEM.

 - Vlad Dinulescu fixed two outstanding valgrind reports:

   1. In ares_query.c , in find_query_by_id we compare q->qid (which is a short
   int variable) with qid, which is declared as an int variable.  Moreover,
