Apple macOS SDK 13.0 and later are increasingly incompatible with gcc,
which started causing CI errors with the 20240701.9 revision of the
`macos-latest` (= `macos-14-arm64`) runner image.
This error is happening inside an Apple SDK header. We use the header
for calling a function in a resolver-related hack, in non-c-ares, IPv6
builds. You can avoid the problem by using c-ares or disabling IPv6
(or using clang, llvm, or a compatible gcc + SDK combination).
This patch fixes affected builds by declaring the ncessary framework
function manually, and not including the problematic header.
This workaround is ugly, doesn't cover all combinations, and fragile.
Other options are to disable this resolver-related hack for GCC, or to
replace it with a solution that doesn't rely on Apple SDK.
If you are aware of a stable fix or workaround, let us know.
gcc 12.4.0 + macOS SDK 14.0 (Xcode 15.0.1) error example:

The exact conditions are fuzzy. Oddly enough gcc 12.3.0 and the SDK
same as above are _compatible_:

Also notice that similar errors can also happen in SecureTransport
builds, due to the SDK headers required.
