resolver, watcher: a record type whose query fails keeps its previous records (closes #231)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

The resolver lists in FailedTypes each record type whose query to a
nameserver got no usable reply (no reply, a code other than NOERROR or
NXDOMAIN, a referral, or a truncated reply whose TCP retry failed) and
logs it unless shutdown cut it short. A nameserver that answered no
type has failed.
The watcher saves such a type in failedTypes with the previous check's
records, leaves it out of the comparison with other nameservers on that
check, and compares it with the next answer. When the previous check
did not know its records either, it is also in unknownTypes and not
compared until it answers. A nameserver whose A, AAAA or CNAME query
failed is no answer when following a CNAME or resolving addresses.

# Completed Steps
- 2026-10-02: a record type whose query to a nameserver fails keeps its previous
records and alerts nothing; the other types are still saved (closes #231).
- 2026-10-02: nameservers a referral names without addresses are looked up,
three deep at most; `pool.ntp.org`'s nameservers resolve (closes #221).
- 2026-10-02: an apex domain is not counted or listed as a hostname; its records
