watcher: notify NS query failure and recovery (closes #104)

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.
