Wim e3e56ff3c2 dns: fix memoryleak by upgrading outdated miekg/dns (#6748)
* Add updated github.com/miekg/dns to go modules
* Add updated github.com/miekg/dns to vendor
* Fix github.com/miekg/dns api breakage
* Decrease size when trimming UDP packets
Need more room for the header(?), if we don't decrease the size we get an
"overflow unpacking uint32" from the dns library
* Fix dns truncate tests with api changes
* Make windows build working again. Upgrade x/sys and x/crypto and vendor
This upgrade is needed because of API breakage in x/sys introduced
by the minimal x/sys dependency of miekg/dns

This API breakage has been fixed in commit

# Alternative (more granular) approach to a DNS library
> Less is more.
Complete and usable DNS library. All Resource Records are supported, including the DNSSEC types.
It follows a lean and mean philosophy. If there is stuff you should know as a DNS programmer there
isn't a convenience function for it. Server side and client side programming is supported, i.e. you
can build servers and resolvers with it.
We try to keep the "master" branch as sane as possible and at the bleeding edge of standards,
avoiding breaking changes wherever reasonable. We support the last two versions of Go.
# Goals
* KISS;
* Fast;
* Small API. If it's easy to code in Go, don't make a function for it.

# Building
Building is done with the `go` tool. If you have setup your GOPATH correctly, the following should
work:
go get github.com/miekg/dns
go build github.com/miekg/dns
## Examples
A short "how to use the API" is at the beginning of doc.go (this also will show when you call `godoc
github.com/miekg/dns`).
Example programs can be found in the `github.com/miekg/exdns` repository.
