[GSoC]DNS look up optimization

  Hi, list
  Since last time I helped translate Zenmap to Mandarin， I have been
reading the Nmap source, and I'm very interested in the position of Nmap
performance optimization.
  As far as I can understand , Nmap now uses blocking function
`getaddrinfo()` in `resolve()`, our goal is to write a nsock-based parallel
function `getaddrinfo_a()` to optimize DNS look up. Have I missed or
mistaken anything? Really need your help here.
