    resolv: Fix a few unaligned accesses to fields in HEADER
    
    After refactoring the alloca usage in 40c0add7d4 ("resolve: Remove
    __res_context_query alloca usage") a few unaligned accesses to HEADER
    fields surfaced. These unaligned accesses led to problems when running
    the resolv test suite on sparc32-linux (leon) as many tests failed due to
    SIGBUS crashes.
    
    The issue(s) occured during T_QUERY_A_AND_AAAA queries as the second query
    now can start on an unaligned address (previously it was explicitly aligned).
    
    With this patch the unaligned accesses are now fixed by using the
    UHEADER instead to ensure the fields are accessed with byte
    loads/stores.
    
    The patch has been verfied by running the resolv test suite on sparc32
    and x86_64.
