avahi: Resolve hosts for which name resolution fails.
This avoids attempts to connect to hosts that went off-line.  This is
particularly important for 'guix-daemon --discover', which would so far
keep attempting to talk to LAN hosts after they vanished just because
their mDNS record hasn't expired, leading to significant delays when
fetching narinfos and substitutes.

Add handler to RESOLVER-EVENT/FAILURE.
