Subject: [PATCH] resolv: Fix NSS DNS backend for getnetbyaddr (CVE-2026-0915)

The default network value of zero for net was never tested for and
results in a DNS query constructed from uninitialized stack bytes.
The solution is to provide a default query for the case where net
is zero.

Adding a test case for this was straight forward given the existence of
tst-resolv-network and if the test is added without the fix you observe
this failure:

FAIL: resolv/tst-resolv-network
original exit status 1
error: tst-resolv-network.c:174: invalid QNAME: \146\218\129\128
error: 1 test failures

With a random QNAME resulting from the use of uninitialized stack bytes.

After the fix the test passes.

Additionally verified using wireshark before and after to ensure
on-the-wire bytes for the DNS query were as expected.

No regressions on x86_64.
