`init_by_resolv_conf`
errors are no longer swallowed in `ares_init_options`. This has exposed
a previously unknown bug in `lookups` initialization code.
If there is no lookup configuration in `resolv.conf`,
`init_by_resolv_conf` will attempt to read it from other files available
on the system. However, some of these files may have restricted
permissions (like `600`), which will lead to `EACCESS` errno, which in
turn is handled like a fatal error by `init_by_resolv_conf`.
However, it sounds illogical that this error should be handled as a
fatal. There is a `init_by_defaults` call that overrides `lookups` with
default value, and certainly possible absence of lookup information is
the reason why this function exists in a first place!
I suggest handling any `fopen` errors as non-fatal ones, allowing to
pick up the `lookups` value from different config files, or to pick up
default value.
