dnsmasq: a resolver tool and event (ADR 0044/0046)
The mesh's resolver is more than config after all. Tools: dnsmasq_names (what this node answers, from the generated wildcard file) and dnsmasq_resolve (resolve a name through this node's own resolver — the check that wildcard-resolution actually answers). Event: it watches the wildcard file and emits module.dnsmasq.name.added/.removed as machines' names become resolvable here — DNS having propagated to this node, distinct from the mesh's node.* events. Typechecks; manifest parses.
