  -fixed-id int
    	Non 0 id to use instead of random or sequential
  -i wait
    	How long to wait between requests (default 1s)
  -json path
    	Json output to provided file path or '-' for stdout (empty = no json output)
  -loglevel value
    	loglevel, one of [Debug Verbose Info Warning Error Critical Fatal] (default Info)
  -no-recursion
    	Pass to disable (default) recursion.
  -p Port
    	Port to connect to (default 53)
  -q type

  -sequential-id
    	Use sequential ids instead of random.
  -t Timeout
    	Timeout for each query (default 700ms)
  -v	Display version and exit.

    many improvements:

    • show valid query types and accept them in lower case, use -q for query like nslookup so -t can be used for timeout
    • new -t timeout, lowered default to 700ms from 2s (so errors can be caught up and still do the default 1 ping per second even if continuously erring out)
    • use the lib client to be able to set timeout and get rtt from there
    • refactor shared format string between good and error cases
    • auto add missing trailing . to query (fully qualified domains, no search)
