Use a hermetic DNS fixture.

These tests query the configured DNS resolver for invalid.invalid. Results and latency depend on network access and resolver configuration. Use an in-process DNS fixture or an existing local resolver harness for deterministic c-ares and getaddrinfo errors.

As per coding guidelines: tests must be hermetic and avoid external services.

tests around dns_promises.resolveAny and dns.resolve should stop querying
invalid.invalid through the configured external resolver; use the repository’s
existing in-process DNS fixture or local resolver harness to deterministically
produce ENOTFOUND while preserving the assertions that errno is undefined.

Cover the getnameinfo exception.

The new branch preserves numeric errno for both getaddrinfo and getnameinfo, but these tests cover only c-ares resolveAny and getaddrinfo-backed dns.lookup. Add a dns.lookupService error case, or reuse an existing getnameinfo fixture, and assert that numeric errno remains.

As per coding guidelines: tests must cover the complete relevant variant matrix, including sibling APIs.
