Replace stale public-dns.info/nameservers.txt URL with actively maintained publicdns-resolvers list from publicdns.info. The old source (public-dns.info, powered by corny/dnscheck) has been dormant for years. The new source probes 90,000+ resolvers every 72 hours.

Summary
Updates the default resolver source URL in documentation examples from
public-dns.info/nameservers.txtto a continuously-validated list sourced from publicdns.info.Why
The upstream data at
public-dns.info(powered bycorny/dnscheck) has been dormant for years. Servers that have been down for years still appear in their raw list, which means users following the README examples are starting with a noisy, stale resolver list.The replacement URL points to publicdns-resolvers, which:
nameservers.txtin the same one-IP-per-line formatChanges
README.md: Updated CLI and Docker example URLs (2 lines changed)-tLflag accepts any URL, so this is fully backwards compatible
