resolver: a reply marked recursion available from a root server's address stops the lookup (closes #300)

dnswatcher never asks for recursion and a root server never offers it, so a reply marked recursion available from a root server's address came from a resolver on the network answering in its place. The first such reply now stops the lookup at once with the existing "this network intercepts DNS queries", naming the address, and no other root server is asked, whether or not that resolver had the name cached. Before, a cached name was checked against the resolver's second-hand answer. On such a network dnswatcher and its tests fail with that error, by design; nothing works around the interception. A live test passes public resolvers as the root servers and expects the error. Model: opus-5-5

A root server never offers recursion, so a reply marked "recursion available"

from a root server's address came from a recursive resolver on the network

answering in its place, as on a network where a router rule, a VPN or a DNS

filter sends all DNS to one resolver. The first such reply from a root server's

address stops the lookup at once with the error "this network intercepts DNS

queries", and no other root server is asked. A lookup that every root server
|

refuses fails with the same error. Every lookup starts at the root servers, so
|

on such a network every lookup fails with that error, whether or not that

resolver has the name cached, and dnswatcher's tests fail there too. That is by

design: nothing asks again another way or otherwise works around the
