By the way, you can call me Gani, as that’s what people usually call me.

I've reverted the previous working DNS code and marked the raw DNS backend
as experimental, with the feature disabled by default [1].

I'll avoid rebasing unless necessary to prevent frequent forced pushes to
the repository. In the end, the work will likely be squashed down to just
two commits:
1. Add DNS parser code
2. Add experimental raw DNS feature

Next, I'll work on fixing the parser issue. Right now, it can only handle
A and AAAA records, and doesn't handle CNAME records properly.
