The net effect of this bug as it appeared to users, would be that
libcurl would timeout in the connect phase.
When disabling IPv6 use but still using getaddrinfo, libcurl would
wrongly not init the "hints" struct field in init_thread_sync() which
would subsequently lead to a getaddrinfo() invoke with a zeroed hints
with ai_socktype set to 0 instead of SOCK_STREAM. This would lead to
different behaviors on different platforms but basically incorrect
output.
This code was introduced in 483ff1ca75, released in curl 7.20.0.
This bug became a problem now due to the happy eyeballs code and how
libcurl now traverses the getaddrinfo() results differently.

Solaris with the SunStudio Compiler is reportedly missing this define,
but as we're using it without any good reason on all the places it was
used I've now instead switched to just use sensible buffer sizes that
fit a 32 bit decimal number. Which also happens to be smaller than the
common NI_MAXSERV value which is 32 on most machines.

The attempt to use gai_strerror() or alternative function didn't work as
the 'sock_error' field didn't contain the proper error code. But since
this hasn't been reported and thus isn't really a big deal I decided to
just scrap the whole attempt to output the detailed resolver error and
instead remain with just stating that the resolving of the name failed.
This commit renames lib/setup.h to lib/curl_setup.h and
renames lib/setup_once.h to lib/curl_setup_once.h.
Removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard foreign
to libcurl. [1]
Removes the need and presence of an alarming notice we carried
in old setup_once.h [2]
----------------------------------------
1 - lib/setup_once.h used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro as header inclusion guard
up to commit ec691ca3 which changed this to HEADER_CURL_SETUP_ONCE_H,
this single inclusion guard is enough to ensure that inclusion of
lib/setup_once.h done from lib/setup.h is only done once.
Additionally lib/setup.h has always used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro to
protect inclusion of setup_once.h even after commit ec691ca3, this
was to avoid a circular header inclusion triggered when building a
c-ares enabled version with c-ares sources available which also has
a setup_once.h header. Commit ec691ca3 exposes the real nature of
__SETUP_ONCE_H usage in lib/setup.h, it is a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl belonging to c-ares's setup_once.h
The renaming this commit does, fixes the circular header inclusion,
and as such removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl. Macro __SETUP_ONCE_H no longer used in libcurl.
2 - Due to the circular interdependency of old lib/setup_once.h and the
c-ares setup_once.h header, old file lib/setup_once.h has carried
back from 2006 up to now days an alarming and prominent notice about
the need of keeping libcurl's and c-ares's setup_once.h in sync.
Given that this commit fixes the circular interdependency, the need
and presence of mentioned notice is removed.
All mentioned interdependencies come back from now old days when
the c-ares project lived inside a curl subdirectory. This commit
removes last traces of such fact.

Previously the code would create a dummy socket while resolving just to
have curl_multi_fdset() return something but the non-win32 version
doesn't do it this way and the creation and use of a socket that isn't
made with the common create-socket callback can be confusing to apps
using the multi_socket API etc.
This change removes the dummy socket and thus will cause
curl_multi_fdset() to return with maxfd == -1 more often.
Now use gai_strerror() to get proper error messages when getaddrinfo()
has failed. Detect the function in configure.
Code based on work and suggestions by Jeff Pohlmeyer and Guenter Knauf
asyn-ares.c and asyn-thread.c are two separate backends that implement
the same (internal) async resolver API for libcurl to use. Backend is
specified at build time.
The internal resolver API is defined in asyn.h for asynch resolvers.
