Trust-DNS 0.20.0 released with Tokio 1.0 support

announcements
1

Trust-DNS 0.20.0 has been released, and this release ended up being much bigger than initially anticipated. I wanted to thank @djc for stepping in to help with the project. In this release he has been a big support for bouncing ideas off of, refactoring a lot of older code, and helping move things along. It's been a huge help to me and the project. Thank you!

One neat thing to highlight in this release is the little resolve CLI tool for exercising the trust-dns-resolver. It's not full featured yet, but it will allow for many of the trust-dns-resolver features to be tested, overtime it will get more options to fully support the features of trust-dns-resolver. It's most akin to the Unix host command, but is not intended to ever be compatible with it. Over time I hope it to facilitate something between host and dig, we'll see where it ends up. It can be installed out of the trust-dns-util crate with:

$> cargo install trust-dns-util --bin resolve
...
$> resolve www.example.com
Querying for www.example.com A from udp:8.8.8.8:53, tcp:8.8.8.8:53, udp:8.8.4.4:53, tcp:8.8.4.4:53, udp:[2001:4860:4860::8888]:53, tcp:[2001:4860:4860::8888]:53, udp:[2001:4860:4860::8844]:53, tcp:[2001:4860:4860::8844]:53
Success for query name: www.example.com type: A class: IN
        www.example.com. 21525 IN A 93.184.216.34

Help will describe all the current options:

$> resolve -h
resolve 0.20.0
A CLI interface for the trust-dns-resolver.

This utility directly uses the trust-dns-resolver to perform a lookup to a set of nameservers. Many of the features can
be directly tested via the FLAGS and OPTIONS. By default (like trust-dns-resolver) the configured nameservers are the
Google provided ones. The system configured ones can be used with the `--system` FLAG. Other nameservers, as many as
desired, can be configured directly with the `--nameserver` OPTION.

USAGE:
    resolve [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <domainname>

FLAGS:
        --cloudflare    Use cloudflare resolvers
        --debug         Enable debug and all logging
        --error         Enable error logging
        --google        Use google resolvers, default
    -e, --happy         Happy eye balls lookup, ipv4 and ipv6
    -h, --help          Prints help information
        --info          Enable info + warning + error logging
        --ipv4          Use ipv4 addresses only, default is both ipv4 and ipv6
        --ipv6          Use ipv6 addresses only, default is both ipv4 and ipv6
        --quad9         Use quad9 resolvers
    -s, --system        Use system configuration, e.g. /etc/resolv.conf, instead of defaults
        --tcp           Use only TCP, default to UDP and TCP
        --udp           Use only UDP, default to UDP and TCP
    -V, --version       Prints version information
        --warn          Enable warning + error logging

OPTIONS:
    -n, --nameserver <nameserver>...    Specify a nameserver to use, ip and port e.g. 8.8.8.8:53 or
                                        [2001:4860:4860::8888]:53 (port required)
    -t, --type <ty>                     Type of query to issue, e.g. A, AAAA, NS, etc [default: A]

ARGS:
    <domainname>    Name to attempt to resolve, if followed by a '.' then it's a fully-qualified-domain-name
