dns resolver: add options to initialize c-ares with custom timeout an… (#36947)

## Background

We recently saw a small number of DNS queries getting timed out. There
is currently no option for us to [initialize
c-ares](https://c-ares.org/ares_init_options.html) by passing in a
custom
[timeout](https://c-ares.org/ares_init_options.html#:~:text=c%2Dares%201.5.2.-,ARES_OPT_TIMEOUTMS,-int%20timeout%3B)
and
[tries](https://c-ares.org/ares_init_options.html#:~:text=c%2Dares%201.5.2.-,ARES_OPT_TRIES,-int%20tries%3B)
config options.

## Changes
In this PR, we are adding two new options in c-ares resolver for
configuring custom timeouts and tries while resolving DNS queries.
Custom timeouts could be configured by specifying
`query_timeout_seconds` option and custom tries could be configured by
specifying `query_tries` config option.

**Commit Message:** dns resolver: add options to initialize c-ares with
custom timeout and tries
**Additional Description:** add two new options called
`query_timeout_seconds` and `query_tries` for initializing c-ares with
custom timeout and tries.
**Risk Level:** Low
**Testing:** Added Unit/Integration Tests
**Docs Changes:** Added
**Release Notes:** Added
**Platform Specific Features:** N/A
