Phase 4.1: Error handling, edge cases, and robustness
CI / test (pull_request) Failing after 3m40s

- Exponential backoff retry logic (100ms, 200ms, 400ms... capped at 2s)
  replacing fixed 100ms delay between retries
- Explicit REFUSED and NOTIMP response types (RespREFUSED, RespNOTIMPL)
  surfaced as terminal results with user-visible messages
- CNAME loop detection: walking the ancestor referral chain before
  following a CNAME prevents infinite recursion; produces RespCNAMELoop
- DNAME record support: synthesize CNAME target from DNAME mapping when
  the server omits the RFC 6672 synthesized CNAME record
- ErrorMessage field on Response for surfacing error details to users
- Fix resolveGlueViaSystem timeout bug: deadline.Sub(deadline) was
  always 0; replaced with time.Until(deadline)
- DNAME records excluded from hasFinalAnswer so DNAME-only responses
  are correctly classified as RespCNAMEFollow
- Text and JSON output updated with labels for all new response types
- Tests: CNAME loop (2-step and direct), REFUSED, NOTIMP, graceful
  degradation (partial and total server failure), DNAME synthesis,
  IsNameInChain, backoffDelay, ResponseClassification strings
