Subject: [RFC][PATCH] Export DNSSL RA option to userspace

RFC 6106 specifies a new RA option for DNS resolver configuration that
therefore needs to end up in userspace.

This first patch just exports the new option, but I started thinking
that this seems overly complex that the kernel needs to be updated
every time there is something new of interest to userspace in the RA.
So I also have a second patch that exports everything that the kernel
doesn't want.

Patches only compile tested so far as I'm still hacking away at
userspace. Comments very much welcome though.
