Can you test this patch, please?

https://gerrit.openvpn.net/c/openvpn/+/1144

the shell trickery Heiko uses here is a bit beyond my pay grade - and
I haven't had time to setup my own 25.04 system "with resolvconf" yet
(holiday season...).

The basic problem here is that "dns_server_${n}_address_*" only works
in some contexts, but not in a variable assignment (or not in all
bash versions, or something).  So this is now solved differently.
