    resolv: Fix unaligned accesses to fields in HEADER struct

    The structure HEADER is normally aligned to a word boundary but
    sometimes it needs to be accessed when aligned on a byte boundary.
    This change defines a new typedef, UHEADER, with alignment 1.
    It is used to ensure the fields are accessed with byte loads and
    stores when necessary.

    V4: Change to res_mkquery.c deleted.  Small whitespace fix.

    V5: Move UHEADER typedef to resolv/resolv-internal.h.  Replace all
    HEADER usage with UHEADER in resolv/res_send.c.
