* feat(netxlite): support extracting the CNAME
Closes https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2225
* fix(netxlite): attempt to increase coverage and improve tests
1. dnsovergetaddrinfo: specify the behavior of a DNSResponse returned
by this file to make it line with normal responses and write unit tests
to make sure we adhere to expectations;
2. dnsoverudp: make sure we wait to deferred responses also w/o a
custom context and post on a private channel and test that;
3. utls: recognize that we can actually write a test for NetConn and
what needs to change when we'll use go1.19 by default will just be
a cast that at that point can be removed.
Acknowledge that transports MAY be used in isolation (i.e., outside
of a Resolver) and add support for wrapping.
Ensure that every factory that creates an unwrapped type is named
accordingly to hopefully ensure there are no surprises.
Implement DNSTransport wrapping and use a technique similar to the
one used by Dialer to customize the DNSTransport while constructing
more complex data types (e.g., a specific resolver).
Ensure that the stdlib resolver's own "getaddrinfo" transport (1)
is wrapped and (2) could be extended during construction.
This work is part of my ongoing effort to bring to this repository
websteps-illustrated changes relative to netxlite.

To this end, we need to refactor the implementation to give the
DNSOverUDPChannel owenership over the net.Conn.
Once this happens, DNSOverUDPChannel.Close closes the conn.
When the conn is closed, the background goroutine will terminate
immediately because any blocking I/O operation will be immediately
unblocked and return net.ErrClosed.

This diff introduces support for observing additional DNS-over-UDP
responses in some censored environments (e.g. China).
After some uncertainty around whether to use connected or unconnected
UDP sockets, I eventually settled for connected.
Here's a recap:
| | connected | unconnected |
| ----------------------- | --------- | ----------- |
| see ICMP errors | ✔️ | ❌ |
| responses from any server | ❌ | ✔️ |
Because most if not all DNS resolvers expect answers from exactly
the same servers to which they sent the query, I would say that
it's more important to have some limited ability of observing the
effect of ICMP errors (e.g., host_unreachable when we set a low
TTL and send out a query to a server).
Therefore, my choice was to modify the existing DNS-over-UDP transport.
Here's an overview of the changes:
1. introduce a new API for performing an async round trip that returns
a channel wrapper where all responses are posted. The channel will not ever
be closed, so the reader needs to use select for safely reading. If the
reader users the wrapper's Next or TryNextResponses methods, these details
do not matter because they already implement a safe reading pattern.
2. the async round trip API performs the round trip in the background
and stops processing when it sees the first error.
3. the background running code will use an overall deadline derived
from the DNSTransport.IOTimeout field to know when to stop.
4. the background running code will additionally stop running if
noone is reading the channel and there are no empty slots in the
channel's buffer.
5. the RoundTrip method has been rewritten in terms of the async API.
The design I'm using here implements the proposal for async round
trips defined at https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/2099. I have
chosen not to make all transports async because the DNS transport
seems the only transport that needs to also work in async mode.
While there, I noticed that we were not propagating CloseIdleConnection
to the underlying dialer, which was potentially wrong, so I did it.
This diff refactors the DNSTransport model to receive in input a DNSQuery and return in output a DNSResponse.
The design of DNSQuery and DNSResponse takes into account the use case of a transport using getaddrinfo, meaning that we don't need to serialize and deserialize messages when using getaddrinfo.
The current codebase does not use a getaddrinfo transport, but I wrote one such a transport in the Websteps Winter 2021 prototype (https://github.com/bassosimone/websteps-illustrated/).

## Description
This PR contains a set of changes to move important interfaces and data types into the `./internal/model` package.
The criteria for including an interface or data type in here is roughly that the type should be important and used by several packages. We are especially interested to move more interfaces here to increase modularity.
An additional side effect is that, by reading this package, one should be able to understand more quickly how different parts of the codebase interact with each other.
This is what I want to move in `internal/model`:
- [x] most important interfaces from `internal/netxlite`
- [x] everything that was previously part of `internal/engine/model`
- [x] mocks from `internal/netxlite/mocks` should also be moved in here as a subpackage
When preparing a tutorial for netxlite, I figured it is easier
to tell people "hey, this is the package you should use for all
low-level networking stuff" rather than introducing people to
a set of packages working together where some piece of functionality
is here and some other piece is there.
