The DNS message protocol when using non-binary strings needs to be in
the ASCII printable range. The function prototype does elude to this
but it was not actually validating the string was in anyway valid and
could be used. DNS parsing will now fail if an expected string isn't
an ASCII string.

salen validation should be greater than or equal to the required
storage size. Its not uncommon to use `struct sockaddr_storage` in
modern code which is definitely larger than `struct sockaddr_in` and
on some systems even larger than `struct sockaddr_in6`.

If initializing using default settings fails, there may be a memory leak of
search domains that were set by system configuration.

ares__strsplit provides a newly allocated buffer, so suffix list in
line variable isn't referenced anymore. Related ares_free seems to
have gone missing during refactoring made in #594

CMake was unconditionally setting output locations globally, but
it should not do that if it is not the top-level project (e.g.
during chain building). Detect this fact and only set the output
location when top level.

It appears as though we should never sanity check the RR name vs the question name as some DNS servers may return results for alias records.

In order to be sure a different server is chosen on the next query,
a read error should result in the failure count being updated
first before requeing the request to a different server.

There is a reported build issue where getrandom() is detected
but compile fails due to a missing prototype. This commit attempts
to resolve that issue.

New test cases depend on internal symbols for calculating timeouts.
Disable those test features if symbol hiding is enabled.

When doing ares_gethostbyname() or ares_getaddrinfo() with AF_UNSPEC, if ares_cancel() was called after one address class was returned but before the other address class, it would return ARES_SUCCESS rather than ARES_ECANCELLED.
Test case has been added for this specific condition.
Fixes Bug: #662

As of c-ares 1.22.0, server timeouts were erroneously not incrementing server failures meaning the server in use wouldn't rotate. There was apparently never a test case for this condition.
This PR fixes the bug and adds a test case to ensure it behaves properly.

Apparently nodejs is relying on the above behavior for legacy reasons. Add
sanity checks to the various optmask parameters where it makes sense.

Regression from c-ares 1.19.1, ARES_OPT_UDP_PORT and ARES_OPT_TCP_PORT are
specified from the user in host-byte order, but there was a regression that
caused it to be read as if it was network byte order.

c-ares does not have any concept of thread-safety. It has always been 100% up to the implementor to ensure they never call c-ares from more than one thread at a time. This patch adds basic thread-safety support, which can be disabled at compile time if not desired. It uses a single recursive mutex per channel, which should be extremely quick when uncontested so overhead should be minimal.
Fixes Bug: #610
Also sets the stage to implement #611
Fix By: Brad House (@bradh352)
c-ares init options defines a flag ARES_FLAG_NOSEARCH that is supposed to prevent search using configured domain suffixes, however when using ares_getaddrinfo() the flag was ignored and domain suffixes were used anyway.
Configuring zero domains to search also does not work (if ndomains == 0 default domain search list is loaded regardless of the flag ARES_OPT_DOMAINS being set).
This change adds a check for the ARES_FLAG_NOSEARCH in as_is_only() function that is used by ares_getaddrinfo() to decide if to try to query next possible name ( next_dns_lookup() )

c-ares parses only antique version of options for timeout and number of retries from resolv.conf (`retrans` and `retry` are missing in modern documentation https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/resolv.conf.5.html).
I add support of `attempts` and `timeout` options

The timeout calculation was occurring with millisecond precision, but on some systems, there is microsecond precision which could mean we'd tell a user a timeout time prior to the actual timeout.
