resolv: Remove support for RES_USE_INET6 and the inet6 option
This functionality was deprecated in glibc 2.25. This commit only includes the core changes to remove the functionality. It does not remove the RES_USE_INET6 handling in the individual NSS service modules and the res_use_inet6 function. These changes will happen in future commits.
