getaddrinfo-is-threadsafe

OpenLDAP upstream conservatively assumes that certain resolver functions
(getaddrinfo, getnameinfo, res_query, dn_expand) are not re-entrant; but we
know that the glibc implementations of these functions are thread-safe, so
we should bypass the use of this mutex.  This fixes a locking problem when
an application uses libldap and libnss-ldap is also used for hosts
resolution.

Closes Debian bug #340601.

Not suitable for forwarding upstream; might be made suitable by adding a
configure-time check for glibc and disabling the mutex only on known
thread-safe implementations.
