> This change implements a new service provider interface for host name and
> address resolution, so that java.net.InetAddress API can make use of
> resolvers other than the platform's built-in resolver.
>
> The following API classes are added to `java.net.spi` package to facilitate
> this:
> - `InetAddressResolverProvider` - abstract class defining a service, and is,
> essentially, a factory for `InetAddressResolver` resolvers.
> - `InetAddressResolverProvider.Configuration ` - an interface describing the
> platform's built-in configuration for resolution operations that could be
> used to bootstrap a resolver construction, or to implement partial delegation
> of lookup operations.
> - `InetAddressResolver` - an interface that defines methods for the
> fundamental forward and reverse lookup operations.
> - `InetAddressResolver.LookupPolicy` - a class whose instances describe the
> characteristics of one forward lookup operation.
>
> More details in [JEP-418](https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/418).
>
> Testing: new and existing `tier1:tier3` tests
