watcher: a stop during the first scan sends no startup notification (closes #271)

Run sent the startup notification right after the first scan without
checking the context. RunOnce returns as usual when shutdown cuts the
scan short, so a stop during the first scan sent "has started and
completed its initial scan" to every endpoint as the process shut down.
Run now sends it only when the context was not cancelled.

The new test cancels the context before Run starts, so the scan never
sends its lookup; a stop part way through a scan follows the same path.

+- Root server fan-out is limited to reduce parallel query load
 - Live lookups that expect an answer go through `internal/livednstest`, which

-- 2026-10-15: the log names a notification endpoint (`slack`, `mattermost`,
-  `ntfy`) and never shows its URL's path or query (closes #288).
-- 2026-10-13: a hostname or a domain whose zone's nameservers all stop answering
