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.
