upstream: one absolute per-query budget across queueing and failover
waiting for a slot now spends the query budget; truncated attempts that
expire fault the budget, not the upstream, and are never attributed.
admission sweeps in priority order before blocking. forward zones spend
read_timeout_ms once across udp, truncation and tcp. adds
nxdns_upstream_budget_exhausted_total and a 64-upstream validation limit.

//! Plain UDP/TCP resolver client for conditional forward zones (PLAN §6.5).
//!
//! A forward zone points at a box on the LAN — a router, a NAS, an internal
//! resolver — which speaks port 53 and nothing else. `transport.Endpoint` knows
//! only `https://` and `tls://` by design, so the configuration for this client
//! comes from `validate.Resolver` instead. The interface it implements is the
//! same `transport.Client` every upstream implements, so `server/handler.zig`
//! treats a forward zone exactly like any other exchange.
//!
//! No health tracking and no backoff live here. `upstream/health.zig` and
//! `upstream/pool.zig` model the upstream *pool*, where failing over to a second
//! endpoint is the whole point. A forward zone has exactly one designated
//! resolver and no failover partner, so a backoff would only add latency to a
//! failure the caller already sees. Their absence is a decision, not an
//! oversight.
//!
//! One `ForwardClient` is used by one task at a time: `stats` is a plain struct
//! and `frame_buf` is not shared.
