Subject: Add a resolv.conf option to specify the order in which getaddrinfo
 PF_UNSPEC queries are made. While there change the default from inet6 first
 then inet4 to inet4 first then inet6, this prevents the many people with IPv4
 only connectivity from constantly trying to contact IPv6 addresses, and also
 unbreaks many ports who don't use getaddrinfo right.

ok deraadt@, plenty of cheering in the room wrt the idea, not loud
enough complaining from the v6 crowd.
