remove arbitrary limit from dns result parsing
The name resolution would abort when getting more than 63 records per
request, due to what seems to be a left-over from the original code.
This check was non-breaking but spurious prior to TCP fallback
support, since any 512-byte packet with more than 63 records was
necessarily malformed. But now, it wrongly rejects valid results.

Reported by Daniel Stefanik in Alpine Linux aports issue 15320.
