fix: correctly handle dns messages in our dns implementation

- By default, github.com/miekg/dns uses `dns.MinMsgSize` for UDP messages, which is 512 bytes. This is too small for some
DNS request/responses, and can cause truncation and errors. This change sets the buffer size to `dns.DefaultMsgSize`
4096 bytes, which is the maximum size of a dns packet payload per RFC 6891.
- We also retry the request if the response is truncated or previous connection was closed.
- And finally we properly handle the case where the response is larger than the client buffer size,
and we return a truncated correct response.

Closes siderolabs#8763
