Skip any unhandled DNS record type

Currently the DNS resolver handles CNAME by skipping that record in the answer and looking for the subsequent A/AAAA/PTR record.  There are other record types which could be handled in the same way, e.g. DNAME, but their presence currently causes the answer parsing to be abandoned.  A better approach would be to skip *any* other record and just use the first A, AAAA or PTR in the answer, regardless of what comes before it.
