AnyEvent::DNS doesn't try other servers on SERVFAIL

Hi,
With one of the default servers (80.80.81.81) occasionally misbehaving, we
saw that AnyEvent::DNS only retries on timeouts, but not on errors that
could still result in a different response when asking other nameservers in
the list. Such as SERVFAIL or REFUSED.
Maybe an elsif around line 1285 in _exec, something like:
```
} elsif ($res->{rc} eq "servfail" || $res->{rc} eq "refused") {
# server error, try next nameserver
&$do_retry;
} else {
# success
```
Though I'm not sure if this will break anything terribly.
