Archkon 54a5095764 dns: do not consult hosts file in reverse lookups
dns.reverse() is documented with dns.resolve*() as always performing DNS
queries without using hosts file configuration. However, c-ares
ares_gethostbyaddr() honors the channel lookup order, which can include
the files source and cause reverse lookups to return entries from
/etc/hosts.

Configure c-ares resolver channels with ARES_OPT_LOOKUPS set to "b" so
getHostByAddr uses DNS/PTR lookups only. This keeps dns.reverse()
aligned with dns.resolve*() and preserves the distinction from
system-resolution APIs such as dns.lookup() and dns.lookupService().

This is preferable to documenting the current behavior because hosts-
file reverse lookup results are platform-dependent and expose hostent
alias semantics rather than DNS PTR record semantics.
