 Fix a longstanding bug in eventdns related to timeouts:  The timeout count was never actually reset to 0.  Argh.  Now we reset it to zero after we get a successful request, or after we notice that a nameserver is back up, or after we decide the nameserver is down because of timeouts.  This may fix bug 326.
