test: rework live-DNS quorum unit — tolerate silence, never a wrong answer
Rework of the unit at #93
(commit 9cb2c2b), against the review at
#136 (comment).

Review of 9cb2c2b found the quorum assertions could not fail on a
class of wrong answer. Each test banned exactly one bad status —
_AllReturnOK banned only nxdomain, _NXDomainFromAllNS banned only ok
— so resolver.StatusNoData passed both. nodata is a wrong answer, not
silence, and answeredCount counted it as answered, so it did not even
trigger a retry; with a quorum of 3 of 4 a single wrong nameserver
slid through undetected. That is assertion-loosening beyond what the
quorum change requires.

Tolerance is now a closed allowlist rather than a blocklist of one
status. unsanctionedStatuses() reports every per-nameserver result
whose status the caller did not explicitly sanction: ok/timeout/error
for the all-OK test, nxdomain/timeout/error for the NXDOMAIN test.
Silence (timeout, error) is the only thing quorum exists to tolerate;
any other status, including one added to the resolver later, fails by
name. answeredCount is likewise an allowlist of ok/nxdomain/nodata, so
an unknown status counts as silence and can only cause a retry and
then a loud failure, never a quiet pass.

Two harness tests cover the regression directly: three OK plus one
nodata (quorum satisfied, no nxdomain present — the input that used
to pass) is now reported as unsanctioned, and an unknown status is
neither counted as answered nor tolerated.

Verified by re-running the reviewer's probe: queryEachNS patched to
force one of google.com's four nameservers to return StatusNoData
turns both tests red, naming the offending nameserver and status —

    --- FAIL: TestQueryAllNameservers_AllReturnOK (1.12s)
        Should be empty, but was [ns1.google.com.=nodata]
        every nameserver must answer OK or not answer at all:
        ns1.google.com.=nodata ns2.google.com.=ok ns3.google.com.=ok
        ns4.google.com.=ok
    --- FAIL: TestQueryAllNameservers_NXDomainFromAllNS (1.34s)
        Should be empty, but was [ns1.google.com.=nodata]
        every nameserver must report NXDOMAIN or not answer at all:
        ns1.google.com.=nodata ns2.google.com.=nxdomain
        ns3.google.com.=nxdomain ns4.google.com.=nxdomain

— and green with the probe reverted. Also fixes the review's nit: the
per-attempt deadline assertion had no lower bound, so it passed for a
deadline far shorter than intended.

No production code changed; DNS is still never mocked.
