watcher: send the inconsistency alert once per disagreement (closes #158)
check / check (push) Successful in 1m5s

detectInconsistencies alerted for neighbouring pairs of nameservers whose
records differed, on every DNS check, for as long as they differed. It now
also takes the previous hostname state, compares every pair of nameservers,
and alerts for a pair that differs unless both were in that state and
already differed there, so a nameserver new on a check that answers
differently is reported once. The state loaded at startup is the previous
state for the first check, so a disagreement saved before a restart is not
reported again. The choice of pairs is tested on record data, and the alert
through the hostname change detection with the notifier stand-in and no
resolver. The README describes the new behaviour.

This is distinct from "responded with no records."
- **NS recovery**: A previously-unreachable nameserver starts
responding again.
- **Inconsistency detected**: Two nameservers that previously agreed
now return different record sets for the same hostname.
- **Inconsistency detected**: Two nameservers return different record
sets for the same hostname and did not already differ on the previous
check. Every pair of nameservers is compared. The alert is sent once
for each such pair, on the check where they start to disagree, and not
again while they keep disagreeing, including after a restart. A
nameserver that was not in the previous check (newly added, or back
after dropping out) and answers differently is reported on the check
where it appears. If a pair agrees again and later disagrees, the
alert is sent again.
