Subject: [PATCH] deps(cares): Add str len check in config_sortlist to avoid
 stack overflow (#497)

In ares_set_sortlist, it calls config_sortlist(..., sortstr) to parse
the input str and initialize a sortlist configuration.

However, ares_set_sortlist has not any checks about the validity of the input str.
It is very easy to create an arbitrary length stack overflow with the unchecked
`memcpy(ipbuf, str, q-str);` and `memcpy(ipbufpfx, str, q-str);`
statements in the config_sortlist call, which could potentially cause severe
security impact in practical programs.

This commit add necessary check for `ipbuf` and `ipbufpfx` which avoid the
potential stack overflows.

fixes #496
