Answers from the name servers now go into the shared name cache, so
they are checked before they are taken:
- a query goes to a name server under a random id of its own, the
client's put back only in what is relayed to it;
- an answer over UDP is taken only from the address and port of the
name server asked;
- the answer must have that id, be a response, and carry the question
asked, byte for byte, over UDP and TCP alike;
- of its records only one owned by the question's name itself (a
pointer to it) is kept in the cache;
- a name with a label of other characters than a host's, a '.' or a
NUL among them, reads as another name once made text, so its answer
is relayed but not kept.
Tests: an answer with another id is neither relayed nor kept, and a
name with a '.' inside a label is answered but not cached under the
name its text reads as.

dnspr answered an A or AAAA query missing from the name cache with
udpresolve(), which waited for the name servers in place, and a name
server over TCP was waited for in place too, holding up every query of
the service. Now only the name cache is looked at in place; anything it
does not have goes to the name servers from the loop: over UDP the query
is sent on a socket the loop waits on, over TCP the socket is connected
without waiting, the query written once the loop sees it writable, and
the answer read in as many pieces as it comes. A name server silent for
DNS_TO is followed by the next one, as udpresolve() did; the last ends
the query with 821. An address in an answer is kept in the name cache,
unless -s says not to use it.
The UDP loop lets a session say what it waits for on its socket
(events) and a service handle a session's deadline itself (timeout).
Tests: an A query not in the cache answered by the name server and then
from the cache with the server gone, an A query waiting for a silent
name server while another is answered, a name server over TCP whose
answer comes in pieces, and the second name server asked when the
first is silent.

udppm: 20 clients at once each answered with their own datagrams, -s
ending a session with its first answer, STRING_LONG of silence ending
it (92), maxconn leaving a client without a slot unanswered, and a
session adopted on a reload and ended when the new rules deny its
client. dnspr: a query sent on to the name server and its answer
relayed, and a query answered while another waits for a silent name
server, which ends at DNS_TO (821).
