passt/pasta has options to redirect DNS requests from the guest to a different server address on the host side. Currently, however, only UDP packets to port 53 are considered "DNS requests". This ignores DNS requests over TCP - less common, but certainly possible. It also ignores encrypted DNS requests on port 853. Extend the DNS forwarding logic to handle both of those cases.
