always widen the imputed netmask if it is narrower than the specified octets.
fixes a strange behaviour where inet_net_pton would always return 4 (bits)
for multicast addresses no matter how many octets were specified.

Optained from: OpenBSD
and res_* modules in a way that works for ELF. I moved the aliases
out of res_stubs.c and into the individual modules where the entry
points are defined. Weak aliases don't work in ELF unless that is
the case. (Actually, I'm surprised it worked for a.out.)
This should fix the undefined "inet_addr" and related symbols in
various applications that fail to include <arpa/inet.h> or
<resolv.h> as they are supposed to do.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
