* Service support has been added to getaddrinfo.
* ares_parse_a/aaaa_record now share code with the addrinfo parser.
* Private ares_addrinfo structure with useful extensions such as ttls (including cname ttls),
as well as the ability to list multiple cnames in chain of lookups

This is a port of RFC 6724 compliant sorting function from Android Bionic project:
e919b116d3/libc/netbsd/net/getaddrinfo.c
The latest version is essentially the same, except two additional parameters to test connection with (mark/uid):
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/libc/dns/net/getaddrinfo.c
Please note that even that version has some restrictions. It doesn't support some rules from RFC 6724:
Rule 3 (Avoid deprecated addresses)
Rule 4 (Prefer home addresses)
Rule 7 (Prefer native transport)

Initial implementation for ares_getaddrinfo(). It is NOT compliant with RFC6724, though
it is expected to come closer to conformance prior to the next release.
Features not supported include sorted addresses and honoring of service and hints
parameters.

This commit clarifies the behaviour of ares_cancel() with respect to
callbacks and adds missing documentation of ARES_ECANCELLED to the man
pages of the affected functions.
