REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4506

res_init() is called from different places in sockets library. It depends
on global _res variable containing a state.

The problem is that if __BIND_RES_TEXT macro is not defined, _res is not
initialized. Depending on compiler and build optimization this can fill the
variable with garbage that is later used by res_init().

Fix is trivial - explicitly initialize _res.
