Make it clearer that "options inet6" does nothing on OpenBSD
The previous wording could imply that "options inet6" did set RES_USE_INET6 on OpenBSD but that RES_USE_INET6 had no effect. The truth is, "options inet6" isn't recognized by libc/asr, but RES_USE_INET6 has an effect on OpenBSD. So first state that "options inet6" does nothing on our system, then describe concisely what it used to do/what it does on other systems. Prompted by a diff from solene@, claudio@ insisted that we keep dcumenting this option. ok eric@ deraadt@ solene@
