fix macOS dns-updown handling of parallel full redirects

The script didn't handle scenarios well where two or more parallel VPN
connections want to replace the default DNS server. The DNS configuration
has a chance to get broken by the connections going down in a different
order than they came up in.

Disallowing all but the first connection to modify the default DNS server
will effectively prevent this issue. While it may break DNS for the
latter connections, it is the best we can do without knowing specifics
about the configurations.
