[dns-operations] Bind 9.8.0 intermittent problem with non-recursive responses

In the end it was a simple bug.  dbversion->queryok was not being
set to ISC_TRUE when it should have been (second change).
Initialising dbversion->queryok to ISC_FALSE made the failure
deterministic.

This will be in BIND 9.8.1 final.  BIND 9.8.1b1 is already cut
and will need this to be applied.
