fix rejection of dns responses with pointers past 512 byte offset

the __dns_parse code used by the stub resolver traditionally included
code to reject label pointers to offsets past a 512 byte limit,
despite never processing the label contents, only stepping over them.
when commit 51d4669fb97782f6a66606da852b5afd49a08001 added support for
tcp fallback, this limit was overlooked, and as a result, it was at
least theoretically possible for some valid large answers to be
rejected on account of these offsets.

since the limit was never serving any useful purpose, just remove it.
