plugin/forward using pkg/up (#1493)
* plugin/forward: on demand healtchecking

Only start doing health checks when we encouner an error (any error).
This uses the new pluing/pkg/up package to abstract away the actual
checking. This reduces the LOC quite a bit; does need more testing, unit
testing and tcpdumping a bit.

* fix tests

* Fix readme

* Use pkg/up for healthchecks

* remove unused channel

* more cleanups

* update readme

* * Again do go generate and go build; still referencing the wrong forward
  repo? Anyway fixed.
* Use pkg/up for doing the healtchecks to cut back on unwanted queries
  * Change up.Func to return an error instead of a boolean.
  * Drop the string target argument as it doesn't make sense.
* Add healthcheck test on failing to get an upstream answer.

TODO(miek): double check Forward and Lookup and how they interact with
HC, and if we correctly call close() on those

* actual test

* Tests here

* more tests

* try getting rid of host

* Get rid of the host indirection

* Finish removing hosts

* moar testing

* import fmt

* field is not used

* docs

* move some stuff

* bring back health_check

* maxfails=0 test

* git and merging, bah

* review

// Package forward implements a forwarding proxy. It caches an upstream net.Conn for some time, so if the same
// client returns the upstream's Conn will be precached. Depending on how you benchmark this looks to be
// 50% faster than just openening a new connection for every client. It works with UDP and TCP and uses
// inband healthchecking.
