fix: guard QueryCert against panic on short/empty QNAME (#1635)

* fix: guard QueryCert against panic on short/empty QNAME

QueryCert slices data[:len(data)-1] to strip a trailing dot, which
panics when data is empty (slice bounds [:-1]). Add a length check
to return early for inputs shorter than a minimal valid "x." form.

While miekg/dns currently rejects wire-format packets that would
produce an empty QNAME, the Nebula code should not rely on library
behavior for crash safety.

Made-with: Cursor

* fix merge conflicts
