Subject: [PATCH] Document some reasonable DNS servers in the example config

 file

We have an option to set the fallback list, so we don't know what the contents

are. It may in fact be empty. Let's add some examples to make it easy for a user

stranded without any DNS to fill in something that would work. As a bonus, this

also gives names to the entries we provide by default.

(I added google and cloudflare because that's what we have currently, and quad9

because it seems to be a good privacy-concious and fast choice and was requested

in #12499. As a minimum, things we should include should be well-known global

services with a documented privacy policy and both IPv4 and IPv6 support and

decent response times.)
