Provided implementations of inet_net_pton and inet_pton from BIND for systems that do not include these functions. These will be necessary for CIDR support and IPv6 support.

first little steps towards IPv6 support!

  c-ares now looks at

  1) resolv.conf (for the "lookup" line);
  2) nsswitch.fon (for the "hosts:" line);
  3) host.conf (for the "order" line).

  First match wins.
