CURLRES_THREADED - is defined if libcurl is built to run under (native)
Windows, and then the name resolve will be done in a new thread, and the
supported asynch API will be the same as for ares-builds.

The host*.c sources files are split up like this:
hostip.c - method-independent resolver functions and utility functions
hostasyn.c - functions for asynchronous name resolves
hostsyn.c - functions for synchronous name resolves
hostares.c - functions for ares-using name resolves
hostthre.c - functions for threaded name resolves
hostip4.c - ipv4-specific functions
hostip6.c - ipv6-specific functions
hostip.c - method-independent resolver functions and utility functions
hostasyn.c - functions for asynchronous name resolves
hostsyn.c - functions for synchronous name resolves
asyn-ares.c - functions for asynchronous name resolves using c-ares
asyn-thread.c - functions for asynchronous name resolves using threads
hostip4.c - ipv4-specific functions
hostip6.c - ipv6-specific functions
The hostip.h is the single united header file for all this. It defines the
CURLRES_* defines based on the config*.h and curl_setup.h defines.
