I believe we can call ares_init() from curl_easy_init() instead, and re-use
the same ares handle during the entire curl handle lifetime. Then it would
only read that file each time a new curl handle is created.

If you want a handle that can survive individual curl handles, I suggest we
add that to the share interface, either by bundling it in the DNS share data
or by providing a separate share entity for it.

Adding global data is not a good idea, imho.
