Set the explicit bit on DNS queries when it is safe to do so.
Generally, it is not safe to set the explicit bit on DNS queries due to the presence of (split tunnel) VPNs. However, the vast majority of DNS queries occur without a VPN, and in these cases it is safe to set the explicit bit. Setting the explicit bit on DNS queries allows us to use upstream DNS servers even in the case that we have a route to them in the local_network table. This is the case, for example, when tethering an Android device to a hotspot created by another Android device.
