If people use libraries to do DNS manually, then they'll do *DNS*
manually, and we shouldn't interfere with that really.

Usually people pick non-libc DNS libraries because they need async
behaviour. I am pretty sure that's a pretty bad reason though and if
you want async behaviour you should use sd-resolve or so.
