ares_init: fix detection of semicolon comments in resolv.conf File resolv.conf may either use a hash '#' or a semicolon ';' character as an indication that the rest of the line is a comment.

configure: inet_net_pton function check adjustments Define HAVE_INET_NET_PTON only when system's inet_net_pton function is IPv6 capable and is not affected by the WLB-2008080064 advisory.
