bpo-25920: Remove socket.getaddrinfo() lock on macOS (GH-20177) 

On macOS, socket.getaddrinfo() no longer uses an internal lock to
prevent race conditions when calling getaddrinfo(). getaddrinfo is
thread-safe is macOS 10.5, whereas Python 3.9 requires macOS 10.6 or
newer.

The lock was also used on FreeBSD older than 5.3, OpenBSD older than
201311 and NetBSD older than 4.

On macOS, when building Python for macOS 10.4 and older, which wasn't the case
for python.org macOS installer, :func:`socket.getaddrinfo` no longer uses an
internal lock to prevent race conditions when calling ``getaddrinfo()`` which
is thread-safe since macOS 10.5. Python 3.9 requires macOS 10.6 or newer. The
internal lock caused random hang on fork when another thread was calling
:func:`socket.getaddrinfo`. The lock was also used on FreeBSD older than 5.3,
OpenBSD older than 201311 and NetBSD older than 4.

getaddrinfo is thread-safe on Mac OS X 10.5 and later. Originally it was
a mix of code including an unsafe implementation from an old BSD's
libresolv. In 10.5 Apple reimplemented it as a safe IPC call to the
mDNSResponder process. 10.5 is the first be UNIX '03 certified, which
includes the requirement that getaddrinfo be thread-safe. See issue #25924.
It's thread-safe in OpenBSD starting with 5.4, released Nov 2013:
http://www.openbsd.org/plus54.html
It's thread-safe in NetBSD starting with 4.0, released Dec 2007:
