Send hole punch requests when adding servers.

If a server is behind a NAT gateway, we might not get a response when
we send it a query. However, a hole punch request may make it accessible.
After two seconds with no response, try a hole punch request and if we get
a reply, retry the request.

We keep state on which servers require hole punching and only allow hole
punch requests from clients if they are flagged as such.
