[PATCH] resolv: Remove EDNS fallback [BZ #21369]


EDNS is disabled by default (so there is interoperability issue), and
the fallback code is problematic because it prevents an application
from obtaining DNSSEC data after a FORMERR response.

2017-04-10  Florian Weimer  <fweimer@redhat.com>

	[BZ #21369]
	Remove EDNS fallback.
	* resolv/res_query.c (__libc_res_nquery): Remove RES_F_EDNS0ERR
	handling.
	* resolv/res_send.c (send_dg): Likewise.
	* resolv/tst-resolv-edns.c (response): Handle "formerr." and
	"tcp." prefixes.
	(do_test): Send a "formerr."-prefixed query in an attempt to
	trigger EDNS fallback.

+* The DNS stub resolver no longer performs EDNS fallback.  If EDNS or DNSSEC

 * res_mkquery and res_nmkquery no longer support the IQUERY opcode.  DNS
   servers have not supported this opcode for a long time.
