resolved: don't consider NSEC/NSEC3 RRs as "pimary" for transactions
So far, abritrary NSEC and NSEC3 RRs were implicitly consider "primary" for any transaction, meaning we'd abort the transaction immediately if we couldn't validate it. With this patch this logic is removed, and the NSEC/NSEC3 RRs will not be considered primary anymore. This has the effect that they will be dropped from the message if they don't validate, but processing continues. This is safe to do, as they are required anyway to validate positive wildcard and negative responses, and if they are missing then, then message will be considered unsigned, which hence means the outcome is effectively the same. This is benefical in case the server sends us NSEC/NSEC3 RRs that are not directly related to the lookup we did, but simply auxiliary information. Previously, if we couldn't authenticate those RRs we'd fail the entire lookup while with this change we'll simply drop the auxiliary information and proceed without it.
