    dns/dnsmessage: add support for parsing and packing of DNS messages · d379faa2
    Ian Gudger authored
    The Go standard library contains support for packing and unpacking of
    DNS messages, but it is not exported, doesn't follow Go style, and is
    not very well optimized. Low level DNS functionality is clearly useful
    to the Go community as evidenced by the success of
    github.com/miekg/dns. This implementation endeavors to avoid the
    limitations of both the standard library and github.com/miekg/dns
    implementations and is an almost complete rewrite of the code
    currently found in on net/dnsmsg.go and net/dnsmsg_test.go.
    
    Goals:
    * Minimize heap allocations.
    * Allow parsing only what is needed. Avoid unnecessary parsing and
      heap allocations for parts of the message that you don't care about.
      Parsing should be allowed on as small of a granularity as is useful,
      but no smaller as to avoid complicating the interface.
    * Parse and pack each byte of the message at most one time.
