cmd/tailscale: use Google as DNS of last resort

Sometimes we try a dozen different ways to read the phone's DNS
settings and it still comes back empty. In that case, if we're already
on a Google-ified Android phone, just use Google's Public DNS servers
as the ultimate fallback, as we already do on ChromeOS to work around
ChromeOS Android VpnBuilder bugs.

Updates tailscale/tailscale#8006 etc etc
