mdnsResponder at least as of macOS Sequoia does not find NXDOMAIN
responses to these dns-sd PTR queries acceptable unless they include the
question section in the response. This was found debugging #13511, once
we turned on additional diagnostic reporting from mdnsResponder we
witnessed:
```
Received unacceptable 12-byte response from 100.100.100.100 over UDP via utun6/27 -- id: 0x7F41 (32577), flags: 0x8183 (R/Query, RD, RA, NXDomain), counts: 0/0/0/0,
```
If the response includes a question section, the resposnes are
acceptable, e.g.:
```
Received acceptable 59-byte response from 8.8.8.8 over UDP via en0/17 -- id: 0x2E55 (11861), flags: 0x8183 (R/Query, RD, RA, NXDomain), counts: 1/0/0/0,
```
This may be contributing to an issue under diagnosis in #13511 wherein
some combination of conditions results in mdnsResponder no longer
answering DNS queries correctly to applications on the system for
extended periods of time (multiple minutes), while dig against quad-100
provides correct responses for those same domains. If additional debug
logging is enabled in mdnsResponder we see it reporting:
```
Penalizing server 100.100.100.100 for 60 seconds
```
It is also possible that the reason that macOS & iOS never "stopped
spamming" these queries is that they have never been replied to with
acceptable responses. It is not clear if this special case handling of
dns-sd PTR queries was ever beneficial, and given this evidence may have
always been harmful. If we subsequently observe that the queries settle
down now that they have acceptable responses, we should remove these
special cases - making upstream queries very occasionally isn't a lot of
battery, so we should be better off having to maintain less special
cases and avoid bugs of this class.

Troubleshooting DNS resolution issues often requires additional information.
This PR expands the effect of the TS_DEBUG_DNS_FORWARD_SEND envknob to forwarder.forwardWithDestChan,
and includes the request type, domain name length, and the first 3 bytes of the domain's SHA-256 hash in the output.

Misconfigured, broken, or blocked DNS will often present as
"internet is broken'" to the end user. This plumbs the health tracker
into the dns manager and forwarder and adds a health warning
with a 5 second delay that is raised on failures in the forwarder and
lowered on successes.

Instead of just falling back to making a TCP query to an upstream DNS
server when the UDP query returns a truncated query, also start a TCP
query in parallel with the UDP query after a given race timeout. This
ensures that if the upstream DNS server does not reply over UDP (or if
the response packet is blocked, or there's an error), we can still make
queries if the server replies to TCP queries.
This also adds a new package, util/race, to contain the logic required for
racing two different functions and returning the first non-error answer.

We weren't correctly retrying truncated requests to an upstream DNS
server with TCP. Instead, we'd return a truncated request to the user,
even if the user was querying us over TCP and thus able to handle a
large response.
Also, add an envknob and controlknob to allow users/us to disable this
behaviour if it turns out to be buggy (✨ DNS ✨).

It was originally added to control memory use on iOS (#2490), but then
was relaxed conditionally when running on iOS 15 (#3098). Now that we
require iOS 15, there's no need for the limit at all, so simplify back
to the original state.

NextDNS is unique in that users create accounts and then get
user-specific DNS IPs & DoH URLs.
For DoH, the customer ID is in the URL path.
For IPv6, the IP address includes the customer ID in the lower bits.
For IPv4, there's a fragile "IP linking" mechanism to associate your
public IPv4 with an assigned NextDNS IPv4 and that tuple maps to your
customer ID.
We don't use the IP linking mechanism.
Instead, NextDNS is DoH-only. Which means using NextDNS necessarily
shunts all DNS traffic through 100.100.100.100 (programming the OS to
use 100.100.100.100 as the global resolver) because operating systems
can't usually do DoH themselves.
Once it's in Tailscale's DoH client, we then connect out to the known
NextDNS IPv4/IPv6 anycast addresses.
If the control plane sends the client a NextDNS IPv6 address, we then
map it to the corresponding NextDNS DoH with the same client ID, and
we dial that DoH server using the combination of v4/v6 anycast IPs.

Two changes in one:
* make DoH upgrades an explicitly scheduled send earlier, when we come
up with the resolvers-and-delay send plan. Previously we were
getting e.g. four Google DNS IPs and then spreading them out in
time (for back when we only did UDP) but then later we added DoH
upgrading at the UDP packet layer, which resulted in sometimes
multiple DoH queries to the same provider running (each doing happy
eyeballs dialing to 4x IPs themselves) for each of the 4 source IPs.
Instead, take those 4 Google/Cloudflare IPs and schedule 5 things:
first the DoH query (which can use all 4 IPs), and then each of the
4 IPs as UDP later.
* clean up the dnstype.Resolver.Addr confusion; half the code was
using it as an IP string (as documented) as half was using it as
an IP:port (from some prior type we used), primarily for tests.
Instead, document it was being primarily an IP string but also
accepting an IP:port for tests, then add an accessor method on it
to get the IPPort and use that consistently everywhere.

Simplify the ability to reason about the DoH dialing code by reusing the
dnscache's dialer we already have.
Also, reduce the scope of the "ip" variable we don't want to close over.
This necessarily adds a new field to dnscache.Resolver:
SingleHostStaticResult, for when the caller already knows the IPs to be
returned.

When a DNS server claims to be unable or unwilling to handle a request,
instead of passing that refusal along to the client, just treat it as
any other error trying to connect to the DNS server. This prevents DNS
requests from failing based on if a server can respond with a transient
error before another server is able to give an actual response. DNS
requests only failing *sometimes* is really hard to find the cause of
(#1033).

We currently plumb full URLs for DNS resolvers from the control server
down to the client. But when we pass the values into the net/dns
package, we throw away any URL that isn't a bare IP. This commit
continues the plumbing, and gets the URL all the way to the built in
forwarder. (It stops before plumbing URLs into the OS configurations
that can handle them.)
