dns_core: Allow zero-length DNS responses.

A testsuite test recently failed due to a crash that occurred in the DNS
core. The problem was that the test could not resolve an address, did
not set a result on the DNS query, and then indicated the query was
completed. The DNS core does not handle the case of a query with no
result gracefully, and so there is a crash.

This changeset makes the DNS system resolver set a result with a
zero-length answer in the case that a DNS resolution failure occurs
early. The DNS core now also will accept such a response without
treating it as invalid input. A unit test was updated to no longer treat
setting a zero-length response as off-nominal.
