plugin/file: fix local CNAME lookup (#1866)

* plugin/file: fix local CNAME lookup

Issue #1864 explains it will, when we serve the child zone as well we
should just recursive into ourself (upstream self). Thus relax the
IsSubDomain check in file/lookup.go and just query (even if the query
will hit a remote server).

I've looped over all other plugins that do something similar (CNAME
resolving) and they didn't do the IsSubDomain check; therefor I've
removed it from *file* as well.

Added test in file_upstream_test that shows this failed before but now
results in a reply.

Fixes #1864

* self does not need to be exported

* Fix test

We don't know if we had a valid reply. Check this.
