nss-resolve: fix parsing of io.systemd.Resolve.ResolveAddress reply

Since the switch to varlink in 0c73f4f075a2d23f7cabe708b589f19f4bbbec37, the
code wasn't functional. The JSON_VARIANT_UNSIGNED/JSON_VARIANT_STRING mismatch
meant that we'd reject any reply. Once past that, the code would use
unitialized 'c' and 'n' variables, so it's lucky we never got that far ;)

With -Wmaybe-unitialized, gcc would warn.

I think that declaring the huge list of local variables with very short names
at the top of the function was making it harder to understand what is going on
in the function. So let's rename the variables a bit, and initialize them upon
declaration if possible.
