No response for some domains

Hi. Your library is great, but I ran into a problem.

import asyncwhois

Thank you for opening this issue!

I opened #58 to check for empty query_output and to prevent the parser_output from only containing None values. After implementing this, the parser_output matches what is also found on whois.com:

whois.com:

with #58

As far as explaining the discrepancies in linux vs windows, in this particular case I think this is more of a problem with the domain registrar, crazydomains, and their WHOIS service which seems to be unreliable. I tried running the query on windows as well, but got the same "None" result as linux before implementing #58 :

Again, based on this I think it's an issue with certain domain registrars, and not necessarily something the library can control. Hope this fix helps!
