Aurelien DARRAGON 3de1acfb23 BUILD: server: fix build regression on old compilers (<= gcc-4.4)
Willy reported that since 3ac79b504 ("MEDIUM: server:
make server_set_inetaddr() updater serializable"), haproxy fails to
compile on some older compilers such as gcc-4.4 with this kind of error:

  src/server.c: In function 'snr_resolution_cb':
  src/server.c:4471: error: unknown field 'dns_resolver' specified in initializer
  compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.
  make: *** [Makefile:1006: src/server.o] Error 1

This is due to referencing a member inside anonymous union from a compound
literal assignment. Apparently such use of anonymous union wasn't properly
supported back then on older compilers. To fix the issue, we give "u" name
to the parent union use this name to explicitly refer to the union where
relevant in the code (only a few changes fortunately).

The fix itself was verified to restore build compatibility with gcc 4.4
(and even 4.2).

As 3ac79b504 is used as a prerequisite for 64c9c8ef3 ("BUG/MINOR:
server/dns: use server_set_inetaddr() to unset srv addr from DNS"), please
consider backporting this patch too if 64c9c8ef3 happens to be backported
in 2.9.
