Move the resolver code out to ibresolv.so, and link libc.so
against libresolv.so so that legacy applications are happy, as
long as they are compiled shared.  Non-network apps can ignore
most of it.  Internal use of some of the biggest chunks is
limited, so this should avoid dragging in a lot of it.
