Defense in depth against cache poisoning: a compromised or misbehaving upstream can return an answer for a different name than was asked (e.g. records for attacker.example in response to a query for victim.example). Such an answer would be cached under the legitimate request key and served to subsequent queries. Validate that the upstream answer echoes the request's question (case-insensitive name plus Qtype/Qclass, per RFC 1035 section 4.1.2) before serving or caching it. A mismatch is logged at debug level and the upstream is skipped, failing safe to the next upstream or SERVFAIL. Refs github.com/Control-D-Inc/ctrld/issues/322
