resolv: Avoid timeouts in test-resolv-res-init, test-resolv-res_init-thread

Some Linux kernels have very aggressive ICMP rate limiting on the
loopback interface.  This commit introduces a minimal echoing DNS server
inside the network namespace, so that there is no need for ICMP error
messages anymore.
