* plugin/cache: add prefer_positive stale policy Add an opt-in serve_stale_policy that prefers an eligible success-cache answer over denial-cache entries while serve_stale is enabled. Preserve the existing ncache-first behavior when the policy is absent. Also classify SOA-backed CNAME NODATA responses in the cache so incomplete answers cannot be selected as positive stale responses.

This lets prefer_positive survive empty responses, referrals, and additional-only data while leaving policy-off lookup behavior unchanged. Return the exact accepted verify refresh item instead of re-reading an ambiguous cache key, avoiding expired TTL wraparound for uncacheable replies. Add regression coverage for non-answer refreshes, NODATA, SERVFAIL, NOTIMP, stale-window expiry, and bounded verify reply shaping.

Precompute answer eligibility when cache items are created so prefer_positive hits avoid repeated CNAME walks.
