Automatically detect configuration changes and reload. On systems which
provide notification mechanisms, use those, otherwise fallback to
polling. When a system configuration change is detected, it
asynchronously applies the configuration in order to ensure it is a
non-blocking operation for any queries which may still be being
processed.
On Windows, however, changes aren't detected if a user manually
sets/changes the DNS servers on an interface, it doesn't appear there is
any mechanism capable of this. We are relying on
`NotifyIpInterfaceChange()` for notifications.

This PR implements an event thread to process all events on file descriptors registered by c-ares. Prior to this feature, integrators were required to understand the internals of c-ares and how to monitor file descriptors and timeouts and process events.
Implements OS-specific efficient polling such as epoll(), kqueue(), or IOCP, and falls back to poll() or select() if otherwise unsupported. At this point, it depends on basic threading primitives such as pthreads or windows threads.
If enabled via the ARES_OPT_EVENT_THREAD option passed to ares_init_options(), then socket callbacks cannot be used.

CAA (Certification Authority Authorization) was introduced in RFC 6844.
This has been obsoleted by RFC 8659. This commit added the possibility
to query CAA resource records with adig and adds a parser for CAA
records, that can be used in conjunction with ares_query(3).
Closes Bug: #292

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.
