improve name lookup performance in corner cases

the buffer in getaddrinfo really only matters when /etc/hosts is huge,
but in that case, the huge number of syscalls resulting from a tiny
buffer would seriously impact the performance of every name lookup.

the buffer in __dns.c has also been enlarged a bit so that typical
resolv.conf files will fit fully in the buffer. there's no need to
make it so large as to dominate the syscall overhead for large files,
because resolv.conf should never be large.
