Dns test love (#908)

* Resolve the DNS test differences.

Also document some of the known ways that c-ares is different as a
result of these test fixes.

Fixes #774.

* spurious assert statement.

* disable the ipv6 dual stack test even without ares, it has the same issue on travis ci. must have a different resolver configuration than I do.

* more dns tweaks for travis

* One small failure on travis.

 1.2b1 (unreleased)
 ==================
 
-- TBD
+- The c-ares DNS resolver ignores bad flags to getnameinfo, like the
+  system resolver does. Discovered when cleaning up the DNS resolver
+  tests to produce more reliable results. See :issue:`774`.

     the threaded resolver). However, because it does not use threads,
     it may scale better for applications that make many lookups.
 
+    There are some known differences from the system resolver:
+
+    - ``gethostbyname_ex`` and ``gethostbyaddr`` may return different
+      for the ``aliaslist`` tuple member. (Sometimes the same,
+      sometimes in a different order, sometimes a different alias
+      altogether.)
+    - ``gethostbyname_ex`` may return the ``ipaddrlist`` in a different order.
+    - ``getaddrinfo`` does not return ``SOCK_RAW`` results.
+    - ``getaddrinfo`` may return results in a different order.
+    - Handling of ``.local`` (mDNS) names may be different, even if they are listed in
+      the hosts file.
+    - c-ares will not resolve ``broadcasthost``, even if listed in the hosts file.
+    - This implementation may raise ``gaierror(4)`` where the system implementation would raise
+      ``herror(1)``.
+    - The results for ``localhost`` may be different. In particular, some system
+      resolvers will return more results from ``getaddrinfo`` than c-ares does,
+      such as SOCK_DGRAM results, and c-ares may report more ips on a multi-homed
+      host.
+
     .. caution:: This module is considered extremely experimental on PyPy, and
        due to its implementation in cython, it may be slower. It may also lead to
        interpreter crashes.
