net: Resolver.LookupSRV first result param not documented well #49982
Description
https://pkg.go.dev/net#Resolver.LookupSRV has signature:
func (r *Resolver) LookupSRV(ctx context.Context, service, proto, name string) (string, []*SRV, error)... but the docs don't make it super clear what that string result is.
There's a hint in the docs:
LookupSRV constructs the DNS name to look up following RFC 2782. That is, it looks up _service._proto.name.
But that makes it sound like it's an implementation detail, not that the first result is indeed that DNS name.
