PATCH: ares_parse_srv_reply partial CNAME fix

From: Larry Lansing <llansing_at_google.com>

Attached is a patch to make ares_parse_srv_reply successfully parse an
SRV reply containing non-SRV answers, such as CNAMEs. This code makes
no attempt to follow or validate the CNAME chain, it just skips over
non-SRV answers. This is probably enough for simple replies.
