Remove DNS mocking from tests; use live DNS everywhere

DNS is never mocked in this repository: tests exercise live DNS,
and robustness comes from handling real-world DNS behavior with
tolerant assertions and sensible timeouts, not from mocks.

watcher: drop mockResolver and wire the real iterative resolver
into the tests, querying stable public names (example.com,
www.example.com). Change detection is exercised by seeding the
state store with a synthetic previous observation that live DNS
cannot match (reserved .invalid nameserver names and RFC 5737
documentation addresses); DNS stays live in every run. The port
checker, TLS checker, and notifier remain test doubles since they
are not DNS, keeping notification and state assertions
deterministic against whatever addresses live DNS returns.

resolver: drop the timeoutClient fake DNSClient and the
NewFromLoggerWithClient mock constructor. The timeout test is
replaced by a live query against an RFC 5737 documentation
address where no nameserver can exist, asserting a classified
non-OK response with no records.

TESTING.md: extend the live-DNS policy to every package and
remove the carve-out that permitted DNS mocks in packages that
consume the resolver.

TODO.md: update stale references to hermetic mocked-DNS work to
reflect the no-mocking policy and the current state of
feature/resolver.

Intentionally dropped coverage: the exact StatusTimeout
classification (previously forced by the fake client) is no
longer asserted, because a genuinely unreachable server may fail
fast instead of timing out depending on the network path; the
live test tolerantly accepts any failure classification.

-## No DNS mocking. Ever.
-
-**DNS is never mocked in this project — not in tests, not anywhere else.**
-No mock resolvers, no fake DNS servers, no stubbed lookups.
-
-dnswatcher's entire purpose is correct behavior against the real DNS.
-Tests exercise real iterative resolution against live nameservers by
-design; a test suite that passes against a mock proves nothing about the
-one thing this program exists to do.
-
-When live tests are flaky, that is a robustness problem, and it gets
-fixed with robustness: retries with backoff, querying multiple
-independent nameservers, longer timeouts — or explicit opt-in gating
-decided by the project owner. Never with mocks.
-
-Contributions that introduce mocked, faked, or stubbed DNS will be
-rejected.
