After #2919, the name field of ForwardData, which is populated with the owner name of an SOA record, is no longer used. It can be removed in the next minor version.

Actually the whole ForwardData struct and associated recursor ErrorKind variant are described as being for "SOA referrals". Since #2919 eliminates this concept, we may be able to remove the struct and error kind entirely.
