We've been using a lot of time on Cirrus-CI and our credits run out
quickly. MacOS costs 15 compute credits vs 3 compute
credits for Linux. Move MacOS testing to GitHub Actions.

c-ares is getting larger these days and we keep adding source files to
the same directory so it can be hard to differentiate core c-ares
implementation from library/utility functions. Lets make some
subdirectories to help with that and shuffle files around.

We've had reports of user-after-free type crashes in Windows cleanup
code for the Event Thread. In evaluating the code, it appeared there
were some memory leaks on per-connection handles that may have remained
open during shutdown, while trying to resolve that it became apparent
the methodology chosen may not have been the right one for interfacing
with the Windows AFD system as stability issues were seen during this
debugging process.
Since this system is completely undocumented, there was no clear
resolution path other than to switch to the *other* methodology which
involves directly opening `\Device\Afd`, rather than spawning a "peer
socket" to use to queue AFD operations.
The original methodology chosen more closely resembled what is employed
by [libuv](https://github.com/libuv/libuv) and given its widespread use
was the reason it was used. The new methodology more closely resembles
[wepoll](https://github.com/piscisaureus/wepoll).
Its not clear if there are any scalability or performance advantages or
disadvantages for either method. They both seem like different ways to
do the same thing, but this current way does seem more stable.

AppVeyor has gotten progressively slower over the last year or so. Move
some Windows builds to GitHub actions which is considerably faster.

Watt-32 (https://www.watt-32.net/) support has been broken for a long
time. Patch c-ares to fix Watt-32 support and also gets rid of the
`WIN32` macro which adds confusion, only use `USE_WINSOCK` macro.
Add a CI/CD task to build c-ares on Windows using MSVC with Watt-32.

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.

The DNS configuration for apple is stored in the system configuration
database. Apple does provide an emulated `/etc/resolv.conf` on MacOS
(but not iOS), it cannot, however, represent the entirety of the DNS
configuration. Alternatively, libresolv could be used to also retrieve
some system configuration, but it too is not capable of retrieving the
entirety of the DNS configuration.
Attempts to use the preferred public API of `SCDynamicStoreCreate()` and
friends yielded incomplete DNS information. Instead, that leaves some
apple "internal" symbols from `configd` that we need to access in order
to get the entire configuration. We can see that we're not the only ones
to do this as Google Chrome also does:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/net/dns/dns_config_watcher_mac.cc
These internal functions are what what`libresolv` and `scutil` use to
retrieve the dns configuration. Since these symbols are not publicly
available, we will dynamically load the symbols from `libSystem` and
import the `dnsinfo.h` private header extracted from:
https://opensource.apple.com/source/configd/configd-1109.140.1/dnsinfo/dnsinfo.h

GoogleTest should be unbundled. Google changed their guidance a few years back and modern versions of google test cannot build the bundling code file.
This PR also updates to use C++14 as is required by modern GoogleTest versions.

c-ares uses multiple code styles, standardize on one. Talking with @bagder he feels strongly about maintaining an 80 column limit, but feels less strongly about things I feel strongly about (like alignment).
Can re-run the formatter on the codebase via:
```
clang-format -i */*.c */*.h */*/*.c */*/*.h
```
