Subject: [PATCH] dnscache: Enable larger truncation

This is a workaround for https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=200627
where Mikrotik doesn't fall back if the UDP response is truncated.

This is done by enabling larger (configurable) than 512 byte responses on UDP
such that Mikrotik doesn't have a need to revert to TCP.  Since it's impossible
to truly know the maximum size of a DNS response trivially this is made
configurable and the upper limit is arbitrarily capped to 16KB.
