Define thread name of the DNS resolver’s address listener thread on Windows

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      The Windows implementation of sun.net.dns.ResolverConfigurationImpl starts a daemon thread in its static initializer block [1].
      Unfortunately, no explicit thread name is defined so the thread name is typically "Thread-<number>".
      Defining no explicit thread name can make ones life harder, for example when monitoring the application or when writing a thread leak detection.
      In this request for enhancement I would like to suggest to define an explicit thread name that makes it easier to tell the address listener thread apart from other threads.
      I would be happy to submit a patch if such a change is welcomed by the project.
