The DNS Flag Day 2020 aims to remove the IP fragmentation problem from the UDP DNS communication. In this commit, we implement the required changes and simplify the logic for picking the EDNS Buffer Size. 1. The defaults for `edns-udp-size`, `max-udp-size` and `nocookie-udp-size` have been changed to `1232` (the value picked by DNS Flag Day 2020). 2. The probing heuristics that would try 512->4096->1432->1232 buffer sizes has been removed and the resolver will always use just the `edns-udp-size` value. 3. Instead of just disabling the PMTUD mechanism on the UDP sockets, we now set IP_DONTFRAG (IPV6_DONTFRAG) flag. That means that the UDP packets won't get ever fragmented. If the ICMP packets are lost the UDP will just timeout and eventually be retried over TCP.
