OOM-purge the DNS cache one part at a time

Previously we purged it in 1-hour increments -- but one-hour is the
maximum TTL for the cache!  Now we do it in 25%-TTL increments.

Fixes bug 29617; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.

+  o Minor bugfixes (out-of-memory handler):
+    - When purging the DNS cache because of an out-of-memory condition,
+      try purging just the older entries at first.  Previously, we would
