when FORMERR comes, differentiate based on OPT
In particular, non-support of EDNS is implied iff FORMERR without OPT comes. If OPT is there, one possibility is that there was something wrong in the OPT that *we* sent, but it seems much more likely that this particular server is just bad and we want to try another one. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6891#section-7 In particular, we would be in trouble if we dropped OPT in a zone that is covered by DNSSEC.
