This PR makes the c-ares parser introduced in 1.21, and the new writer, along with associated helpers public. These helpers are contained in a new public header of `ares_dns_record.h` which should _**not**_ be included directly, instead simply including `ares.h` is sufficient. This will address #587, as well as #470.
A follow-up PR will be made which will transform `adig` to use the new parsers and helpers.
This PR does not currently add man pages for these public functions, that will be in a follow-up PR once the `adig` migration is done which may expose additional needed helpers.
The two aforementioned PRs will be done before the 1.22 release.

It appears some outside projects were relying on macros in ares_dns.h, even though it doesn't appear that header was ever meant to be public. That said, we don't want to break external integrators so we should distribute this header again.

Originally started by Daniel Stenberg (@bagder) with #123, this patch reorganizes the c-ares source tree to have a more modern layout. It also fixes out of tree builds for autotools, and automatically builds the tests if tests are enabled. All tests are passing which tests each of the supported build systems (autotools, cmake, nmake, mingw gmake). There may be some edge cases that will have to be caught later on for things I'm not aware of.
