When this callback is called due to the destruction of the ares handle,
the connection pointer passed in as an argument may no longer pointing
to valid data and this function doesn't need to do anything with it
anyway so we make sure it doesn't.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-01/0333.html
Reported by: Vsevolod Novikov
Make the c-ares resolver code ask for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses when
IPv6 is enabled.
This is a workaround for the missing ares_getaddrinfo() and is a lot
easier to implement.
Note that as long as c-ares returns IPv4 addresses when IPv6 addresses
were requested but missing, this will cause a host's IPv4 addresses to
occur twice in the DNS cache.

When looping in this function and checking for the timeout being
expired, it was not updating the reference time when calculating the
timediff since previous round which made it think each subsequent loop
to have taken longer than it actually did.
I also modified the function to use the generic Curl_timeleft() function
instead of the custom logic.

The IP version choice was previously only in the UserDefined struct
within the SessionHandle, but since we sometimes alter that option
during a request we need to have it on a per-connection basis.
I also moved more "init conn" code into the allocate_conn() function
which is designed for that purpose more or less.
Some systems poll function sets POLLHUP in revents without setting
POLLIN, and sets POLLERR without setting POLLIN and POLLOUT. In some
libcurl code execution paths this could trigger busy wait loops with
high CPU usage until a timeout condition aborted the loop.
The reverted patch addressed the above issue for a very specific case,
when awaiting c-ares to resolve. A libcurl-wide fix superceeds this one.

enabled, we can now take advantage of its brand new AF_UNSPEC support in
ares_gethostbyname(). This makes test case 241 finally run fine for me wtih
this setup since it now parses the "::1 ip6-localhost" line fine in my
/etc/hosts file!
to find that it crashed miserably, and this was due to some select()isms left
in the code. This was due to API restrictions in c-ares 1.3.x, but with the
upcoming c-ares 1.4.0 this is no longer the case so now libcurl runs much
better with c-ares and the multi interface with > 1024 file descriptors in
use.
and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names should hint, do the
timeouts with millisecond resolution instead. The only restriction to that
is the alarm() (sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full
seconds. I fixed the FTP response timeout part of the patch.
Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also
means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no
timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which
equals 24.86 days. We probably couldn't before either since the code did
*1000 on the timeout values on several places already.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1481217), with follow-ups by Michele Bini
and David Byron. libcurl previously wrongly used GetLastError() on windows to
get error details after socket-related function calls, when it really should
use WSAGetLastError() instead.
When changing to this, the former function Curl_ourerrno() is now instead
called Curl_sockerrno() as it is necessary to only use it to get errno from
socket-related functions as otherwise it won't work as intended on Windows.
