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.

+* The DNS stub resolver no longer performs EDNS fallback.  If EDNS or DNSSEC
+  support is enabled, the configured recursive resolver must support EDNS.
+  (Responding to EDNS-enabled queries with responses which are not
+  EDNS-enabled is fine, but FORMERR responses are not.)

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