DNS: do not skip initial two components of SRV & TLSA lookups before checking name syntax.

The introduction of DKIM added _ to the permitted chars, so those components will pass.

 .cindex "UTF-8" "in domain name"
 Lots of discussion is going on about internationalized domain names. One
 camp is strongly in favour of just using UTF-8 characters, and it seems

 If it is set true, Exim's domain parsing function allows valid
 UTF-8 multicharacters to appear in domain name components, in addition to
-letters, digits, and hyphens. However, just setting this option is not
