Add publicdns.info as resolver source (replace or supplement stale public-dns.info) #20

Description

@riankellyjn-a11y

Your workflow currently sources resolvers from The Public DNS Server List as one of ten inputs. That source is powered by corny/dnscheck, which has been dormant for years — the community has flagged this repeatedly, and multiple projects (including this one) exist partly because the raw data can't be trusted.

publicdns.info is a separate, actively maintained project that probes 90,000+ resolvers every 72 hours and publishes ~8,500 confirmed-live servers with status indicators (OK, NX_HIJACK, TIMEOUT, BAD).

Suggestion: Add publicdns.info as an 11th source, or replace the stale public-dns.info entirely. A pre-validated resolver list is also available at publicdns-resolvers, updated daily via GitHub Actions.

Starting from a cleaner upstream would mean dnsvalidator has less noise to filter during your multi-round validation, potentially speeding up the workflow and improving the final output quality.
