fix flake in aardvark tests

The retry logic in digshort() did not work because dig always exits with
0 even when the domain name is not found. To make it work we have to
check the standard output.

We work on fixing the underlying issue in aardvark/netavark but
this will take more time.

Fixes #14173
Fixes #14171
