Bug description:
[Impact]
libnss-resolve is an optional component not used by default in xenial.
However it treats doubledot incorrectly, meaning it gets resolved when it
shouldn't.
[Fix]
Cherrypick upstream patch to resolve this issue.
[Testcase]
* Enable resolve nss module
* attempt resolving www.gnu.org..
* It should fail to resolve
(base)adconrad@nosferatu:~$ getent ahostsv4 www.gnu.org..

This is responsible for the new regression in glibc:
----------
FAIL: posix/tst-getaddrinfo5
original exit status 1
resolving "localhost." worked, proceeding to test
resolving "localhost.." failed, test passed
resolving "www.gnu.org." worked, proceeding to test
resolving "www.gnu.org.." worked, test failed
----------
[Regression potential]
Minimal, since this component is not used by default. However, systems that
have this enabled exhibit standards non-compliant behavior. It is not expected
for anybody to depend on this broken behavior.
