Documentation incorrectly used bracket notation for optional parameters.
This caused inconsistencies in usage because of examples like the
following:
fs.write(fd, data[, position[, encoding]], callback)
This simply fixes all uses of bracket notation in documentation.

Currently the address resolution family defaults to IPv4. Instead remove
the preference and instead resolve to a family suitable for the host.
Expose the getaddrinfo flags and allow them to be passed.
Add documentation about new flags.

A follow-up commit will save the domain name on the request object but
we can't call that property 'domain' because that gets intercepted by
src/node.cc and lib/domain.js to implement the node.js feature of the
same name.
To avoid confusion, rename all variables called 'domain' to 'hostname'.
getServers returns an array of ips that are currently being used for
resolution
setServers takes an array of ips that are to be used for resolution,
this will throw if there's invalid input but preserve the original
configuration
