211dde4e08 Add support for TCP fallback when we receive a truncated DnsResponse (#9139)
Motivation:

Sometimes DNS responses can be very large which mean they will not fit in a UDP packet. When this is happening the DNS server will set the TC flag (truncated flag) to tell the resolver that the response was truncated. When a truncated response was received we should allow to retry via TCP and use the received response (if possible) as a replacement for the truncated one.

See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7766.

Modifications:

- Add support for TCP fallback by allow to specify a socketChannelFactory / socketChannelType on the DnsNameResolverBuilder. If this is set to something different then null we will try to fallback to TCP.
- Add decoder / encoder for TCP
- Add unit tests

Result:

Support for TCP fallback as defined by https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7766 when using DnsNameResolver.
