Summary: Better return COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST iso TIMEDOUT ?

Initial Comment:
Hi,

running on Debian stable, and testing resolution errors, I got a CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT if I use the opt CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, but the error CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST if I don't use it, after 63 seconds.
Wouldn't it be better to return CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST in both cases, firstly to keep coherency between these two similar use cases, and secondly to allow a more precise diagnostic ?

Attached is a patch for that puspose.

Many thanks in advance.
Regards.
