net: replace sort with slices for address and DNS record sorting

This change replaces the usage of the "sort" package with the "slices"
package for sorting IP addresses and DNS records. The new approach
simplifies the code and improves readability by leveraging the
slices.SortFunc and slices.SortStableFunc functions.

- Updated addrselect.go to use slices.SortStableFunc for sorting IP
  addresses based on RFC 6724.
- Refactored dnsclient.go to use slices.SortFunc for sorting SRV and MX
  records by priority and weight.

This change also reduces the dependency tree for the package by
removing the dependency on "sort" and its transitive dependencies,
resulting in a leaner build.
