fix: 700ms query timeout, proper iterative resolution (closes #24) (#28)

Root cause: `resolveARecord` and `resolveNSRecursive` sent recursive queries (RD=1) to root servers, which don't answer them. This caused 5s timeouts × 2 retries × 3 servers = hanging tests.

Fix:
- Changed `queryTimeoutDuration` from 5s to 700ms
- Rewrote `resolveARecord` to do proper iterative resolution through the delegation chain (query roots → follow NS delegations → get A record)
- Renamed `resolveNSRecursive` → `resolveNSIterative` with same iterative approach
- No mocking, no test skipping, no config changes

`make check` passes: all 29 resolver tests pass with real DNS in ~10s.
