resolved: cache - do negative caching only on the canonical name
Apart from dropping redundant information, this fixes an issue where, due to broken DNS servers, we can only be certain of whether an apparent NODATA response is in fact an NXDOMAIN response after explicitly resolving the canonical name. This issue is outlined in RFC2308. Moreover, by caching NXDOMAIN for an existing name, we would mistakenly return NXDOMAIN for types which should not be redirected. I.e., a query for AAAA on test-nx-1.jklm.no correctly returns NXDOMAIN, but a query for CNAME should return the record and a query for DNAME should return NODATA. Note that this means we will not cache an NXDOMAIN response in the presence of redirection, meaning one redundant roundtrip in case the name is queried again.
