resolved: when we get a packet failure from a server, don't downgrade UDP to TCP or vice versa

Under the assumption that packet failures (i.e. FORMERR, SERVFAIL, NOTIMP) are caused by packet contents, not used
transport, we shouldn't switch between UDP and TCP when we get them, but only downgrade the higher levels down to UDP.
