Reject names that are longer than 255 characters, to avoid problems with strict or buggy DNS server implementations. (Patch from the Google tree)

In ares_mkquery, make sure we set buflen and buf to reasonable values if there's an error. (Patch from the Google tree)

notifier callback(s).

and API changes in the progress callback (and possibly more coming up from
Steinar)

Always register for TCP events even if there are no outstanding queries, as the other side could always close the connection, which is a valid event which should be responded to.

Support a few more socket options, and refactor the option setting a bit. (Patch from the Google tree.)

Make the query callbacks return the number of timeouts that happened during the execution of a query, and update documentation accordingly. (Patch from the Google tree.)

Three fixes in one commit (sorry): a) Take care of the tcpbuf if it ends while queued for transmission, note broken servers and close them in the main loop, and store TCP socket generation number in order not to send the same query twice over the same socket.

curl_easy_setopt() that alters how libcurl functions when following
redirects. It makes libcurl obey the RFC2616 when a 301 response is received
after a non-GET request is made. Default libcurl behaviour is to change
method to GET in the subsequent request (like it does for response code 302
- because that's what many/most browsers do), but with this CURLOPT_POST301
option enabled it will do what the spec says and do the next request using
the same method again. I.e keep POST after 301.

The curl tool got this option as --post301

Test case 1011 and 1012 were added to verify.

CURLOPT_NOBODY enabled but not CURLOPT_HEADER, libcurl wouldn't do TYPE
before it does SIZE which makes it less useful. I walked over the code and
made it do this properly, and added test case 542 to verify it.

URLs ending with a slash properly (it should list the contents of that

several functions (write_tcp_data, read_tcp_data, read_udp_packets) so that
if it fails and the socket is closed the following code doesn't try to use
the file descriptor.

TCP is used since there are several edge cases where it still makes sense.

something with the ares_save_options() where it would try to do a malloc(0)
when no options of that type needed to be saved.  On most platforms, this was
fine because malloc(0) doesn't actually return NULL, but on AIX it does, so
ares_save_options would return ARES_ENOMEM.
