If there aren't any sort items to copy, don't bother. Without this
little precaution it would do a malloc(0) which causes undefined
behaviors and is frowned upon by curl's memdebug-system.
Add 3 new functions to set the local binding for the out-going
socket connection, and add ares_set_servers_csv() to set a
list of servers at once as a comma-separated string.

in man resolv.conf:
causes round robin selection of nameservers from among those listed. This
has the effect of spreading the query load among all listed servers, rather
than having all clients try the first listed server first every time.
You can enable it with ARES_OPT_ROTATE
The symptom:
* Users (usually, but not always) on 2-Wire routers and the Comcast service
and a wired connection to their router would find that the second and
subsequent DNS lookups from fresh processes using c-ares to resolve the same
address would cause the process to never see a reply (it keeps polling for
around 1m15s before giving up).
The repro:
* On such a machine (and yeah, it took us a lot of QA to find the systems
that reproduce such a specific problem!), do 'ahost www.secondlife.com',
then do it again. The first process's lookup will work, subsequent lookups
will time-out and fail.
The cause:
* init_id_key() was calling randomize_key() *before* it initialized
key->state, meaning that the randomness generated by randomize_key() is
immediately overwritten with deterministic values. (/dev/urandom was also
being read incorrectly in the c-ares version we were using, but this was
fixed in a later version.)
* This makes the stream of generated query-IDs from any new c-ares process
be an identical and predictable sequence of IDs.
* This makes the 2-Wire's default built-in DNS server detect these queries
as probable-duplicates and (erroneously) not respond at all.
not posix or anything and thus c-ares failed to build on hurd (and possibly
elsewhere). The define was also somewhat artificially used in the windows
port. Now, I instead rewrote the use of gethostbyname to enlarge the host
name buffer in case of need and totally avoid the use of the MAXHOSTNAMELEN
define. I thus also removed the defien from the namser.h file where it was
once added for the windows build.
I also fixed init_by_defaults() function to not leak memory in case if
error.
