resolv: Remove RES_USEBSTRING and its implementation [BZ #20629]

“no-ip6-dotint” had already been the default, and support for the
“ip6-dotint” option was removed from the Internet in 2006.
+* The "ip6-bytestring" resolver option and the corresponding RES_NOIP6DOTINT
+ flag from <resolv.h> have been removed. The option relied on a
+ backwards-incompatible DNS extension which was never deployed on the
+ Internet.
+
* The flags RES_AAONLY, RES_PRIMARY, RES_NOCHECKNAME, RES_KEEPTSIG defined
in the <resolv.h> header file have been deprecated. They were already
unimplemented.
