[PATCH] resolv/resolv.h: allow alternative resolv.conf files

My main concern at this point is that a lot of software hard-codes the
/etc/resolv.conf path and parses the file on its own, to obtain the
search path and the configured name servers.
Once we add an environment variable to change the path, that's going to
add a lot of confusion because the system will have an inconsistent view
on the data. I do not have a good answer to that.
Thanks,
Florian
