Rip out the DNS lookup limiter (#10190)

As I've written in various places in the past (#7113, #9865) I'm pretty sure this is doing nothing useful at all.

"""Replaces the resolver with one that limits the number of in flight DNS

This is to workaround https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/9620, where we
can run out of file descriptors and infinite loop if we attempt to do too
many DNS queries at once
XXX: I'm confused by this. reactor.nameResolver does not use twisted.names unless
you explicitly install twisted.names as the resolver; rather it uses a GAIResolver
backed by the reactor's default threadpool (which is limited to 10 threads). So
(a) I don't understand why twisted ticket 9620 is relevant, and (b) I don't
understand why we would run out of FDs if we did too many lookups at once.
