Add s6-dnsip, prepare for 2.3.3.0, fix resolvenoq_aaaaa
TODO: resolveq_aaaaa returns the best (1 answer) whereas we want both ip6 and ip4 when available. It works with noq, it should work with q too.

+<h1> The s6-dnsip program </h1>
+
+<p>
+ s6-dnsip finds both the IPv6 and IPv4 addresses associated to a domain name.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Interface </h2>
+
+<pre>
+ s6-dnsip [ -q ] [ -r ] [ -t <em>timeout</em> ] <em>domain</em>
+</pre>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> s6-dnsip makes both an A and an AAAA query for the name <em>domain</em>,
+in parallel. It waits for the results and prints the obtained addresses,
+one per line, then exits 0. </li>
+ <li> If the domain exists but no relevant field has been found, it exits 1. </li>
+ <li> If the DNS answered but no answer is available, it prints a relevant
+error message and exits 2. </li>
+ <li> By default, s6-dnsip looks for DNS cache addresses in the
+<tt>/etc/resolv.conf</tt> file. If the DNSCACHEIP environment variable is set
+and contains a list of IP (v4 or v6) addresses, separated by commas,
+semicolons, spaces, tabs, newlines or carriage returns, then this list
+is used instead. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Options </h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> <tt>-q</tt>&nbsp;: qualify. Qualifies <em>domain</em> before resolution,
+according to suffixes found in <tt>/etc/resolv.conf</tt>. If the DNSQUALIFY
+environment variable is set and contains a list of suffixes separated by spaces,
+tabs, newlines or carriage returns, then this list is used instead. By
+default, no qualification is used: if <em>domain</em> is not a FQDN, a dot
+is just appended to it. </li>
+ <li> <tt>-r</tt>&nbsp;: random. By default, the program does not sort the
+result, but prints them in the order received from the DNS. With this
+option, it performs a random permutation on the results before printing
+them. </li>
+ <li> <tt>-t</tt>&nbsp;<em>timeout</em>&nbsp;: if the resolution takes more
+than <em>timeout</em> milliseconds, then it exits 99 right away with an error
+message. By default, <em>timeout</em> is 0, which means no timeout. </li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2> Notes </h2>
+
+<p>
+Even if the underlying skalibs has been compiled without IPv6 support,
+or IPv6 DNS transport is unavailable for any reason, s6-dnsip will still
+return IPv6 addresses if the AAAA query has a positive result.
+</p>
