tq-019 Prepend and append to possibly-censored domain

When we suspect a domain name to be censored in some protocol request (DNS, HTTP, TLS), it is interesting to see if the same protocol request to the same endpoint returns a different error when we prepend a possibly-censored domain to some nonexistent domain name. It is also interesting to check well-known and random subdomains of the possibly-censored domain.

The logic is to check if the block of evil.co(sic!) observes the same pattern as www.**evil.co, weevil.co, evil.com**, evil.co**.tls-chan.net** and even garbagevil.co**.tls-chan.net**.

DNS subdomains (like www.evil.org) are better described in tq-009 subdomains of possibly censored domains.
