Yes, I was thinking that we could use Emacs' normal process support for
it, but just call getaddrinf_a and then return the results.  I haven't
actually looked at how to do that, but it seems like it should
conceptually makes sense.

For instance, to make it very much like a normal network process, Emacs
could even just output the DNS data as bytes in the process buffer.  (We
have code to parse DNS protocol data in dns.el already.)
