Add support for ILNP records

[bortzmeyer]

The codes for the four ILNP records (NID, L64, L32 and LP) have been added to the IANA registry http://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters. The future RFC is in the RFC Editor Queue http://www.rfc-editor.org/internet-drafts/draft-irtf-rrg-ilnp-dns-06.txt

It would be cool to have validns support for them.

A bit difficult to test correctness of wire format representation (and signatures) for ILNP records without BIND not supporting them even in snapshot releases... :-/

I tested it and it seems OK, thanks. Two more tests could be added:

NodeID with more than 4 hex digits in a group are accepted:

error5 IN NID 1 00ff:ff2056:ee64:67

LP pointing to the owner name are accepted even with -p all (the RFC says it must not be done) 👍

error2 IN LP 1 error2

Thanks! Should be fixed now.

BTW, what do you use to sign zones with NID/LP and friends?
Then I can add proper tests to the test suit.

I do not sign these zones yet.
