Security update for c-ares

This update for c-ares fixes the following issues:

Version update to git snapshot 1.17.1+20200724:

  • CVE-2021-3672: fixed missing input validation on hostnames returned by DNS servers (bsc#1188881)
  • If ares_getaddrinfo() was terminated by an ares_destroy(), it would cause crash
  • Crash in sortaddrinfo() if the list size equals 0 due to an unexpected DNS response
  • Expand number of escaped characters in DNS replies as per RFC1035 5.1 to prevent spoofing
  • Use unbuffered /dev/urandom for random data to prevent early startup performance issues

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.
