refactor(netx/dialer): hide implementation complexity (#372)
* refactor(netx/dialer): hide implementation complexity

This follows the blueprint of `module.Config` and `nodule.New`
described at https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1591.

* fix: ndt7 bug where we were not using the right resolver

* fix(legacy/netx): clarify irrelevant implementation change

* fix: improve comments

* fix(hhfm): do not use dialer.New b/c it breaks it

Unclear to me why this is happening. Still, improve upon the
previous situation by adding a timeout.

It does not seem a priority to look into this issue now.

Directory github.com/ooni/probe-engine/experiment

This directory contains the implementation of all the supported experiments, one for each directory. The OONI spec repository contains a description of all the specified experiments.

Note that in the OONI spec repository experiments are called nettests. Originally, they were also called nettests here but that created confusion with nettests in ooni/probe-cli. Therefore, we now use the term experiment to indicate the implementation and the term nettest to indicate the user facing view of such implementation.

Note that some experiments implemented here are not part of the OONI specification. For example, the urlgetter experiment is not in the OONI spec repository. The reason why this happens is that urlgetter is an experiment "library" that other experiments use to implement their functionality.

Likewise, the example experiment is a minimal experiment that does nothing and you could use to bootstrap the implementation of a new experiment. Of course, this experiment is not part of the OONI specification.
