slirp: Read host DNS config on demand

Currently the qemu user-mode networking stack reads the host DNS
configuration (/etc/resolv.conf or the Windows equivalent) only once
when qemu starts.  This causes name lookups in the guest to fail if the
host is moved to a different network from which the original DNS servers
are unreachable, a common occurrence when the host is a laptop.

This patch changes the slirp code to read the host DNS configuration on
demand, caching the results for at most 1 second to avoid unnecessary
overhead if name lookups occur in rapid succession.  On non-Windows
hosts, /etc/resolv.conf is re-read only if the file has been replaced or
if its size or mtime has changed.
