Lookup the root nameserver addresses using the given resolver

Return a Resolver which will eventually become a root.Resolver instance that has references to all the root servers that we were able to look up.

Parameters
resolver:twisted.internet.interfaces.IResolverSimpleThe resolver instance which will be used to lookup the root nameserver addresses.
resolver​Factory:callableAn optional callable which returns a resolver instance. It will passed as the resolverFactory argument to Resolver.__init__.
Returns
A DeferredResolver which will be dynamically replaced with Resolver when the root nameservers have been looked up.
