[syslog-ng]crashbug fix in recent syslog-ng versions

[Hamilton, Andrew]

I also said it might help some people.  Not everyone.  You can use it or not
as it suits you and Bazsi already came up with a better solution.  It is not
necessarily wrong just not right for everyone.

This patch is obviously wrong. You cannot assume that libresolv exists
just because res_init is found in some header. What is the right thing
