Rollup merge of rust-lang#47334 - etaoins:only-call-res-init-on-gnu-unix, r=alexcrichton
Only link res_init() on GNU/*nix
To workaround a bug in glibc <= 2.26 lookup_host() calls res_init() based on the glibc version detected at runtime. While this avoids calling res_init() on platforms where it's not required we will still end up linking against the symbol.
This causes an issue on macOS where res_init() is implemented in a separate library (libresolv.9.dylib) from the main libc. While this is harmless for standalone programs it becomes a problem if Rust code is statically linked against another program. If the linked program doesn't already specify -lresolv it will cause the link to fail. This is captured in issue rust-lang#46797
Fix this by hooking in to the glibc workaround in `cvt_gai` and only activating it for the "gnu" environment on Unix This should include all glibc platforms while excluding musl, windows-gnu, macOS, FreeBSD, etc.
This has the side benefit of removing the #[cfg] in sys_common; only unix.rs has code related to the workaround now.
Before this commit:
```shell
> cat main.rs
use std::net::ToSocketAddrs;
#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" fn resolve_test() -> () {
let addr_list = ("google.com.au", 0).to_socket_addrs().unwrap();
println!("{:?}", addr_list);
}
