[Toybox] [PATCH] host: cope with large DNS responses.

[enh]

okay, attached is a version using dynamic allocation...



DNS responses were limited to 512 bytes back when they were UDP only,
but if you have a TCP connection you can get up to 64KiB.

Also use the existing constant for the size of rrname.

Also update the help text.

Also consistently use `sizeof(T)` rather than `sizeof T`.

Also use consistently use `ARRAY_LEN`.

Fixes #56.

Test: `toybox host value.testing.express`
