Make ahost a dependency of adig to prevent issues with them both
referencing ares_strcasecmp.c and ares_getopt.c. This appears to be
a bug in the Cmake generator for MSVC project files.

`ares__hosts_entry_to_hostent()` would allocate a separate buffer for
each address, but `ares_free_hostent()` expects a single allocation to
hold all addresses.
This PR fixes this issue and simplifies the logic by using the
already-existing `ares__addrinfo2hostent()` to write the hostent instead
of coming up with yet another way to write the structure.

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.

UDP is connectionless, but systems use ICMP unreachable messages to
indicate there is no ability to reach the host or port, which can result
in a `send()` returning an error like `ECONNREFUSED`. We need to handle
non-retryable codes like that to treat it as a connection failure so we
requeue any queries on that connection to another connection/server
immediately. Otherwise what happens is we just wait on the timeout to
expire which can greatly increase the time required to get a definitive
message.
This also adds a test case to verify the behavior.

c-ares utilizes recursion for some operations, and some of these
processes can have unintended side effects, such as if a callback
is called that then recurses into the same function. This can cause
strange cleanup conditions that lead to crashes.
Try to disassociate queries with connections as early as possible and
move cleaning up unneeded connections to its own scan rather than
trying to detect each time a query is disassociated from a connection.

In c-ares 1.30.0 we started validating strings parsed are printable.
This caused a regression in a pycares test case due to a wrong response
code being returned as the error was being propagated from a different
section of code that was assuming the only possible failure condition
was out-of-memory.
This PR adds a fix for this and also a test case to validate it.

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.
