Josef Söntgen 6fcbea000c libports: add libc_resolv
libc_resolv is a {free,get}addrinfo() plugin, mainly for use with NOUX.

We prefix the original libc functions to with 'libc_' so there is no
symbol conflict with file_operations.cc.

This libc plugin uses libc's own resolv facilities to do DNS resolving
etc. pp. It is much more advanced than the functions which lwip has to
offer.
Its current use is for noux-pkgs only. ``Native'' Genode programs should
use getaddrinfo() provided by lwip for now.
