Make server and client handle resolv.conf differently.
The server should just read from resolv.conf to find DNS servers to use. This restores this behavior after the previous commit changed it. The client now reads both /etc/resolv.conf and /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf. The latter is required to more reliably intercept regular DNS requests that systemd-resolved makes.
