[Dnsmasq-discuss] [PATCH] fix dns failover when dns server returns REFUSED

If a DNS server replies REFUSED for a given DNS query in strict order mode
no failover to the next DNS server is triggered as the logic in reply_query
excluded strict order mode by mistake.

Also checking for not strict order mode makes the failover logic related
to REFUSED death code as it also checks for forwardall being 0 which can
only be the case for strict order mode.

Fix this by checking for strict order mode now so the failover logic in
case REFUSED is replied is triggered in case forwardall is 0 for a given
forward record. In case all servers mode is configured the fail over logic
won't be triggered just as before.
