Add dns_cache so server addresses are cached and invalidated when DNS…

… changes.

Adds a module to deal with dns_cache feature. It's
main struct is CachedResolver, which is a simple thread safe
hostname <-> Ips cache with the ability to refresh resolutions
every `dns_max_ttl` seconds. This way, a client can check whether its
ip address has changed.
