net: add (*Resolver).LookupIP

Previously, looking up only IPv4 or IPv6 addresses was only possible
with DefaultResolver via ResolveIPAddr. Add this functionality to the
Resolver type with a new method, LookupIP. This largely brings Resolver
functionally to parity with the global functions. The name LookupIP is
used over ResolveIPAddr to be consistent with the other Resolver
methods.

There are two main benefits to (*Resolver).LookupIP over
(*Resolver).LookupHost. First is an ergonomic benefit. Wanting a
specific family of address is common enough to justify a method, evident
by the existence of ResolveIPAddr. Second, this opens the possibility of
not performing unnecessary DNS requests when only a specific family of
addresses are needed. This optimization is left to follow up work.

Updates #30452
