Test the production sanitizer and the 255-byte boundary.

This test reimplements sanitization with strings.ReplaceAll and truncates the result inside the test. It never calls the production TXT response path, such as DNSServer.handleTXT in pkg/server/dns_server.go Lines [264-278]. A broken production sanitizer can therefore pass this test.

The fixture is only 34 bytes before null-byte removal, so the truncation branch is never exercised. The final length assertion is also tautological because Lines [16-19] already enforce the limit. Use an input longer than 255 bytes, call the production entry point, and assert the exact sanitized result.

Also applies to: 16-19, 21-23

In `@pkg/server/dns_txt_sanitizer_test.go` around lines 9 - 10, Update the test to
exercise the production TXT sanitization through DNS server entry point
handleTXT rather than reimplementing it with strings.ReplaceAll. Use an input
whose sanitized content exceeds 255 bytes, then assert the exact expected
null-byte removal and 255-byte truncation result; remove tautological assertions
that only validate test-side truncation.
