The {error, enfile} return value is badly misleading and confusing for
this case, since the Posix ENFILE errno value has a well-defined meaning
that has nothing to do with Erlang ports. The fix changes the return
value to {error, system_limit}, which is consistent with e.g. various
file(3) functions. inet:format_error/1 has also been updated to support
system_limit in the same manner as file:format_error/1.

This is needed because otherwise there could be scenarios
when the efile driver blocks a fd and then crashes without
the inet driver ever finding out. Now when the process
crashes the port will close and we can cleanup in the inet
driver.

* rani/inet_gethostbyname_fixes:
inet_res_SUITE: testcase fixes for legacy DNS resolver (Solaris 8)
inet_res: /etc/resolv.conf: use domain as default search list
inet: delayed/avoided read of /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts
inet_gethost_native: workaround for empty result hostname on MacOS X
inet_res_SUITE: testcase fix for empty domain name
inet:gethostbyname improved to parse IP strings and look up own hostname
OTP-8426 The resolver routines failed to look up the own node name as
hostname, if the OS native resolver was erroneously configured,
bug reported by Yogish Baliga, now fixed.
The resolver routines now tries to parse the hostname as an IP
string as most OS resolvers do, unless the native resolver is
used.
The DNS resolver inet_res and file resolver inet_hosts now do not
read OS configuration files until they are needed. Since the
native resolver is default, in most cases they are never needed.
The DNS resolver's automatic updating of OS configuration file
data (/etc/resolv.conf) now uses the 'domain' keyword as default
search domain if there is no 'search' keyword.

Now inet:gethostbyname tries to parse the hostname as an IP string
first if the 'native' lookup method is not used. One can also
make the IP string parsing explicit using the new 'string'
lookup method, or avoid it using the new pseudo lookup
method 'nostring'.
In R13B04 a bug was introduced when the gethostbyname code
was rewritten, so if the native resolver was used and
misconfigured to not be able to look up the own hostname,
inet:gethostbyname also failed. This is now fixed.
