    nss_dns: Check address length before creating addrinfo result [BZ #19831]
    
    Previously, we allocated room in the result space before the check,
    leaving uninitialized data there in case the check failed.
    
    This also consolidates the behavior between single (A or AAAA) and
    dual (A and AAAA in parallel) queries.  Single queries checked
    the record length against the QTYPE, not the RRTYPE.
