Better exception handling for alternate resolvers

docs/changes/1459.bugfix

+The c-ares and DNSPython resolvers now raise exceptions much more
+consistently with the standard resolver. Types and errnos are
+substantially more likely to match what the standard library produces.
+
+Depending on the system and configuration, results may not match
+exactly, at least with DNSPython. There are still some rare cases
+where the system resolver can raise ``herror`` but DNSPython will
+raise ``gaierror`` or vice versa. There doesn't seem to be a
+deterministic way to account for this. On PyPy, ``getnameinfo`` can
+produce results when CPython raises ``socket.error``, and gevent's
+DNSPython resolver also raises ``socket.error``.
+
+In addition, several other small discrepancies were addressed,
+including handling of localhost and broadcast host names.
