resolv: Support clearing option flags with a “-” prefix (bug 14799)

Major new features:
- [Add new features here]
+* In /etc/resolv.conf and the RES_OPTIONS, option flags can now be
+ prefixed with “-” to clear previously set flags. For example, if
+ /etc/resolv.conf contains “options no-aaaa”, a process running with
+ the RES_OPTIONS=-no-aaaa environment variable performs AAAA DNS
+ queries when the glibc DNS stub resolver is used.
