Store the DNS cache in a coucal hashtable

The resolver cache was a hand-rolled singly-linked list with a dummy head
node: O(n) lookup, O(n^2) build, and each record carried its own next
pointer plus an inline copy of the hostname key. Swap it for coucal, the
hashtable already used for the backing cache and the ready slots, keyed by
hostname with the address record as the value.

coucal owns the records (freed through a value handler on coucal_delete)
and dups the key itself, so t_dnscache sheds both its next link and its
inline iadr string and becomes a pure address record. The state field
keeps the same pointer width (t_dnscache* -> coucal), so the installed
htsopt.h layout and the ABI are unchanged.

Behaviour is identical: same -1/0/>0 lookup contract, same negative
caching, same resolve-once semantics, all under the existing
opt->state.lock (coucal is not internally serialized against the FTP/web
threads). The DNS self-test exercises the full contract black-box and
passes unchanged.
