* Add resolver functions for looking up DNS records of
various types. Currently implemented: MX, TXT, SOA, SRV, NS
* Return records as GVariant tuples.
* Make the GSrvTarget lookups a wrapper over this new
functionality.
* Rework the resolver test so that it has support for
looking up MX, NS, SOA, TXT records, and uses GOptionContext

In particular, remove the libasyncns import, which was only used by
GUnixResolver, which is only used when threads are not available.
Likewise remove GWin32Resolver, and the hacky broken non-threaded
parts of GIOScheduler.

In resolve_sync function in gthreadedresolver.c, if g_thread_pool_push
fails due to thread creation failure, we are just simply appending the
data to the queue of work to do. After the failure, we might wait
indefinitely in g_cond_wait. In case of g_thread_pool_push failure,
propagate the error so that this function does not blocks forever in
case of failure.

When you're using the threaded resolver and using a sync call
without a cancellable the resolve_sync forgot to unlock the
initial req->mutex lock, leading to a deadlock when unrefing
the request.
GResolver provides asynchronous (and synchronous-but-cancellable) APIs
for resolving hostnames, reverse-resolving IP addresses back to
hostnames, and resolving SRV records. Part of #548466.
