sneak 017eede779 resolver: try servers in a random order on each resolution (closes #138)
check / check (push) Failing after 2m15s
Every resolution walked the root servers in a fixed order, so
a.root-servers.net got every first query and its timeouts were paid on
every lookup. Each list of servers the resolver walks, the root servers
and the nameservers of each zone below them, is now walked in a random
order from the standard library's rand.Shuffle, chosen anew each time.
Failover is unchanged: after a failure the next server is tried, and
the walk fails only when every server has. The shuffle is passed in, so
the tests check the order with a seeded source; which server a live
query reached is not observable, so no test fails if the walk stops
shuffling.

clawbot d2f154b2cf resolver: error from ResolveIPAddresses when no nameserver answered (closes #190)
check / check (push) Failing after 2m7s
ResolveIPAddresses now returns an error, not no addresses, when no
nameserver of the name's zone answered. A nameserver with status
timeout or error is not an answer; one answer, even NXDOMAIN, is
enough for an empty result without an error.

When every server of a zone fails, FindAuthoritativeNameservers moves
on to the parent name, whose servers only refer the query onward. Such
a referral now has status error, so it is no answer either, and a
hostname's saved records show it as error. The only caller, the
nameserver address lookup, already keeps the previous addresses on an
error; its comment no longer says the resolver hides this case.

clawbot 8f11ef0038 watcher: notify NS query failure and recovery (closes #104)
check / check (push) Successful in 1m31s
LookupAllRecords now returns each nameserver's response, so the
watcher saves its status: ok when it answered, NXDOMAIN and no records
included, and error with the reason when it timed out, answered
SERVFAIL or REFUSED, or could not be reached. A nameserver that starts
failing sends NS Failure and one that answers again sends NS Recovery.
A failing nameserver is left out of the record change and
inconsistency comparisons. The resolver used to report REFUSED and
network errors as an answer with no records; they are now errors. A
lookup cut short by its context now returns an error instead of a
failure of the nameserver it was querying.

clawbot 95b017eb3e resolver: lower-case DNS names in record values (closes #157)
check / check (push) Successful in 58s
Nameservers may answer with DNS names in any letter case. For eeqj.de,
y.ns.joker.com answers in upper case while its peers answer in lower
case, so the inconsistency check fired on every cycle. extractRecordValue
now lower-cases CNAME, MX, SRV and NS targets, so the inconsistency check
and the record-change check both compare names regardless of case. A,
AAAA, TXT and CAA values are formatted as before. State saved before this
change can hold upper-case names, which report a one-time record change
on the first check after upgrading.
