* add dns query handling changes
* replace exception pass with error message
* simplify dns exception catching
* Add not set case to blacklist lookup result handling
A previous commit (0a970f4bb2) broke nsd restarting. This fixes that change by reverting it.
Josh added: Use nsd-control with reconfig and reload if they succeed and only fall back to restarting nsd if they fail

I am not sure if this was the problem but nsd didn't serve updated zonefiles on my box and 'service nsd restart' must have been used, so maybe it doesn't reload zones.
The resolve method disables resolving relative names by default. This change probably makes a7710e90 unnecessary. @JoshData added some additional changes from query to resolve.
And write MIAB dns zone config into /etc/nsd/nsd.conf.d/zones.conf. Delete lingering old zones.conf file.

All A/AAAA-resolvable domains that don't send or receive mail should have these null records.
This simplifies the handling of domains a bit by handling automatically generated subdomains more like other domains.
* Stop generating RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 keys on new installs since it is no longer recommended, but preserve the key on existing installs so that we continue to sign zones with existing keys to retain the chain of trust with existing DS records.
* Start generating ECDSAP256SHA256 keys during setup, the current best practice (in addition to RSASHA256 which is also ok). See https://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-sec-alg-numbers/dns-sec-alg-numbers.xhtml#dns-sec-alg-numbers-1 and https://www.cloudflare.com/dns/dnssec/ecdsa-and-dnssec/.
* Sign zones using all available keys rather than choosing just one based on the TLD to enable rotation/migration to the new key and to give the user some options since not every registrar/TLD supports every algorithm.
* Allow a user to drop a key from signing specific domains using DOMAINS= in our key configuration file. Signing the zones with extraneous keys may increase the size of DNS responses, which isn't ideal, although I don't know if this is a problem in practice. (Although a user can delete the RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 key file, the other keys will be re-generated on upgrade.)
* When generating zonefiles, add a hash of all of the DNSSEC signing keys so that when the keys change the zone is definitely regenerated and re-signed.
* In status checks, if DNSSEC is not active (or not valid), offer to use all of the keys that have been generated (for RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 on existing installs, RSASHA256, and now ECDSAP256SHA256) with all digest types, since not all registers support everything, but list them in an order that guides users to the best practice.
* In status checks, if the deployed DS record doesn't use a ECDSAP256SHA256 key, prompt the user to update their DS record.
* In status checks, if multiple DS records are set, only fail if none are valid. If some use ECDSAP256SHA256 and some don't, remind the user to delete the DS records that don't.
* Don't fail if the DS record uses the SHA384 digest (by pre-generating a DS record with that digest type) but don't recommend it because it is not in the IANA mandatory list yet (https://www.iana.org/assignments/ds-rr-types/ds-rr-types.xhtml).
See #1953
These subdomains/records are for automatic configuration of mail clients, but if there are no user accounts on a domain, there is no need to publish a DNS record, provision a TLS certificate, or create an nginx server config block.
* Create the mta_sts A/AAAA records even if there is no valid TLS certificate because we can't get a TLS certificate if we don't set up the domains.
* Make the policy id in the TXT record stable by using a hash of the policy file so that the DNS record doesn't change every day, which means no nightly notification and also it allows for longer caching by sending MTAs.
it is sometimes needed to be able to set axfr to more than just one ip address. This can be done with multiple xfr: in the secondary dns input but if you need to add an entire subnet segment (xxx.xxx.xxx.0/yy) then it will not work.
With this patch it is now possible to use a subnet as input for xfr the same way as if it was an ip address.
