Jamil b96ee526c1 fix(apple/ios): don't require hard link to __res_9_state (#10143) ...

In Xcode 16, how the compiler determines the size of C structs changed.

In Xcode 15 and below, when the compiler saw `__res_9_state()`, it
thought, "This is a C struct. I know its size and layout from the
system's header files. I will generate code to allocate that much memory
and zero it out." This was a type-based operation; it only needed the
"blueprint" for the struct.

In Xcode 16 and later, the compiler sees `__res_9_state()` and thinks,
"This is a C struct. To initialize it, I need to link to the actual
symbol named `___res_9_state` inside the libresolv library." This became
a symbol-based operation, creating a direct dependency that didn't exist
before.

To fix this, we initialize a raw pointer with a manual type
specification to the zeroed-out struct, which reverts to the prior
behavior.

Has been tested on iPhone 12, iOS 17.
