We are unlikely to evert support most of them, but we can at least
display the types properly.
The list is taken from the IANA list.
The table of number->name mappings is converted to a switch
statement. gcc does a nice job of optimizing lookup (when optimization
is enabled).
systemd-resolve-host -t is now case insensitive.
LOC records have a version field. So far only version 0 has been
published, but if a record with a different version was encountered,
our only recourse is to treat it as an unknown type. This is
implemented with the 'unparseable' flag, which causes the
serialization/deserialization and printing function to cause the
record as a blob. The flag can be used if other packet types cannot be
parsed for whatever reason.
Let's turn resolved into a something truly useful: a fully asynchronous
DNS stub resolver that subscribes to network changes.
(More to come: caching, LLMNR, mDNS/DNS-SD, DNSSEC, IDN, NSS module)
