net: use DNS over TCP when use-vc is set in resolv.conf

There is a DNS resolution bug in Kubernetes (UDP response packets get dropped by conntrack, causing timeouts in DNS queries).

The recommended workaround on Linux is to configure the resolver to use TCP for DNS queries, by setting the use-vc option in resolv.conf.

With this PR, the pure Go resolver searches for "use-vc" in resolv.conf and switches to TCP when found.

Fixes #29358
