[git commit] ntpd: perform DNS resolution out of send/receive loop - closes 10466

commit: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=a1e9bc6876f6539805095e9395c604d3675c526d
branch: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Bad case: send request to server1good.com; then try to resolve server2bad.com -
this fails, and failure takes ~5 secs; then receive server1's
response 5 seconds later. We'll never sync up in this case...
