The last outstanding reason to retain dnsserver component in Squid

nameservers list.
* filters each request. ".local" lookups are permitted to both the
mDNS resolvers and the recursive resolvers, other requests are only
permitted to the regular recursive resolvers.
I have not done much testing of this yet. However the DNS protocol
operations are completely unchanged, and the only questions are
whether the nameservers responses are accepted back into Squid or
prevented by the ignore_unknown_nameservers option (or not) - that
depends on the mDNS responses. And whether the mDNS produces NXDOMAIN
in a useful way for Squid.
In absence of any objections this is applied as trunk rev.12879
