Currently, any other failure to do an SRV lookup for the join list than the "host not found" error would cause the resolution to stop. In case of that happening for all records, the node won't be unable to start.
Actually, it is recommended to ignore errors from SRV lookups and continue with regular A lookup
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2782). This PR makes that change.
Fixes #47550
Release note (bug fix): makes SRV resolution non-fatal for join list records to align with the standard and improve reliability of node startup.
