Razvan Dimescu 637b374d8b feat: recursive resolution + full DNSSEC validation ...

Numa becomes a true DNS resolver — resolves from root nameservers
with complete DNSSEC chain-of-trust verification.

Recursive resolution:
- Iterative RFC 1034 from configurable root hints (13 default)
- CNAME chasing (depth 8), referral following (depth 10)
- A+AAAA glue extraction, IPv6 nameserver support
- TLD priming: NS + DS + DNSKEY for 34 gTLDs + EU ccTLDs
- Config: mode = "recursive" in [upstream], root_hints, prime_tlds

DNSSEC (all 4 phases):
- EDNS0 OPT pseudo-record (DO bit, 1232 payload per DNS Flag Day 2020)
- DNSKEY, DS, RRSIG, NSEC, NSEC3 record types with wire read/write
- Signature verification via ring: RSA/SHA-256, ECDSA P-256, Ed25519
- Chain-of-trust: zone DNSKEY → parent DS → root KSK (key tag 20326)
- DNSKEY RRset self-signature verification (RRSIG(DNSKEY) by KSK)
- RRSIG expiration/inception time validation
- NSEC: NXDOMAIN gap proofs, NODATA type absence, wildcard denial
- NSEC3: SHA-1 iterated hashing, closest encloser proof, hash range
- Authority RRSIG verification for denial proofs
- Config: [dnssec] enabled/strict (default false, opt-in)
- AD bit on Secure, SERVFAIL on Bogus+strict
- DnssecStatus cached per entry, ValidationStats logging

Performance:
- TLD chain pre-warmed on startup (root DNSKEY + TLD DS/DNSKEY)
- Referral DS piggybacking from authority sections
- DNSKEY prefetch before validation loop
- Cold-cache validation: ~1 DNSKEY fetch (down from 5)
- Benchmarks: RSA 10.9µs, ECDSA 174ns, DS verify 257ns

Also:
- write_qname fix for root domain "." (was producing malformed queries)
- write_record_header() dedup, write_bytes() bulk writes
- DnsRecord::domain() + query_type() accessors
- UpstreamMode enum, DEFAULT_EDNS_PAYLOAD const
- Real glue TTL (was hardcoded 3600)
- DNSSEC restricted to recursive mode only
