resolver: a nameserver with a failed record type is not nodata (closes #253)
check / check (push) Successful in 1m16s

classifyResponse set nodata when every record type that answered had
no records, even when another type's query got no usable reply. That
type is listed in FailedTypes and its records are unknown, so the
nameserver has not said it has none. It now stays ok, the status
README describes for a nameserver with a failed type, and nodata is
set only when no type failed. The watcher saved nodata as ok already,
so saved state is unchanged; the live test that rejects nodata no
longer fails when one of a nameserver's queries is lost.
