Title:
  [PATCH] systemd-resolved can't follow more than 8 CNAMEs

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 20.04 (systemd v245.4-4ubuntu3.21), hostname resolution only
  follows 8 CNAME redirections maximum.

  So when using a service like Azure Virtual Desktop that has between 9
  and 12 redirections, name resolution fails.

  $ host client.wvd.microsoft.com
  Host client.wvd.microsoft.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
  $ resolvectl query client.wvd.microsoft.com
  client.wvd.microsoft.com: resolve call failed: CNAME loop detected, or CNAME resolving disabled on 'waws-prod-zrh-ff7172dd.sip.p.azurewebsites.windows.net'

  On the other hand it's working fine on Ubuntu 20.04 because CNAME loop
  limit has been raised from 8 to 16.

  $ host client.wvd.microsoft.com
  client.wvd.microsoft.com is an alias for client.privatelink-global.wvd.microsoft.com.
  client.privatelink-global.wvd.microsoft.com is an alias for client.privatelink.wvd.microsoft.com.
  client.privatelink.wvd.microsoft.com is an alias for rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com.

  rdweb.privatelink.wvd.microsoft.com is an alias for rdweb-prod-geo.trafficmanager.net.
  rdweb-prod-geo.trafficmanager.net is an alias for mrs-chnor1c101-rdweb-prod.wvd-ase-chnor1c101-prod.p.azurewebsites.net.
  mrs-chnor1c101-rdweb-prod.wvd-ase-chnor1c101-prod.p.azurewebsites.net is an alias for waws-prod-zrh-63daa049.sip.p.azurewebsites.windows.net.
  waws-prod-zrh-63daa049.sip.p.azurewebsites.windows.net is an alias for waws-prod-zrh-63daa049.cloudapp.net.
  waws-prod-zrh-63daa049.cloudapp.net has address 51.107.69.35

  
  Here's a quick fix that raises the max CNAME limit from 8 to 16 like it is in Ubuntu 22.04, it fixes the problem for me.

  Best regards,
  Vincent.
