res_send: use a temp buffer if caller's buffer is under 512 bytes
for extremely small buffer sizes, the DNS query core in __res_msend
may malfunction completely, being unable to get even the headers to
determine the response code. but there is also a problem for
reasonable sizes under 512 bytes: __res_msend is unable to determine
if the udp answer was truncated at the recv layer, in which case it
may be incomplete, and res_send is then unable to honor its contract
to return the length of the full, non-truncated answer.

at present, res_send does not honor that contract anyway when the full
answer would exceed 512 bytes, since there is no tcp fallback, but
this change at least makes it consistent in a context where this is
the only "full answer" to be had.
