It seems to me that upstream should just not raise
NoResolverConfiguration, and instead not configure any nameservers.

Then, if someone tries to resolve without any configured nameservers,
NoNameservers will be raised, which is the same thing that happens if
there are no good nameservers, and is less inconsistent with the
previous behavior.
