BUG/MEDIUM: resolvers: Remove aborted resolutions from query_ids tree

To avoid any UAF when a resolution is released, a mechanism was added to
abort a resolution and delayed the released at the end of the current
execution path. This mechanism depends on an hard assumption: Any reference
on an aborted resolution must be removed. So, when a resolution is aborted,
it is removed from the resolver lists and inserted into a death row list.

However, a resolution may still be referenced in the query_ids tree. It is
the tree containing all resolutions with a pending request. Because aborted
resolutions are released outside the resolvers lock, it is possible to
release a resolution on a side while a query ansswer is received and
processed on another one. Thus, it is still possible to have a UAF because
of this bug.

To fix the issue, when a resolution is aborted, it is removed from any list,
but it is also removed from the query_ids tree.

This patch should solve the issue #1862 and may be related to #1875. It must
be backported as far as 2.2.
