fix: usr: Remove deterministic selection of nameserver

When selecting nameserver addresses to be looked up we where
always selecting them in dnssec name order from the start of
the nameserver rrset.  This could lead to resolution failure
despite there being address that could be resolved for the
other names.  Use a random starting point when selecting which
names to lookup.

Closes #5695
 
Closes #5745

Merge branch '5695-add-random-server-selection' into 'main'

See merge request isc-projects/bind9!11395

ns5 is an auth server on example. and works
ns6 is a resolver
Because `getaddresses_allowed()` logic won't allow to query more than 3 NS at
the top-level, only ns{2-4} will be tried without randomization, and example.
