netxlite: do not call netgo the CGO_ENABLED=0 resolver (#766)

Browse Source 
In https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2029#issuecomment-1140805266, we
explained why calling it "netgo" would be incorrect.

In other words, we can get the platform's `getaddrinfo` as long as
we're not cross compiling. We do cross compile `ooniprobe`, actually
it's not even possible to cross compile it.

For increased accuracy, we should stop cross compiling `miniooni`
as well, so it would also directly use `getaddrinfo`.

This diff fixes at the same time ooni/probe-cli and ooni/spec
and we'll open two pull requests in parallel.
