[getdns-api] getdns 1.1.0a1 release

[Willem Toorop]

We are please to announce an alpha release of getdns 1.1.0 is being made
available for early testing of a subset of features planned for this
release.

Updates:

  * getdns_query is promoted to be a a first class citizen. It is
    relocated src/tools and built and installed by default.

  * The 1.1 release exposes several function prototypes (prototyped in
    getdns_query) to the library user. Details can be found in the 1.1
    doxygen documentation for:

    * functions to convert text strings to the getdns native types:
      getdns_str2dict(), getdns_str2dict(), getdns_str2bindata() and
      getdns_str2int().  The expected input is similar to JSON.

    * a getdns_context_config() function that configures a context with
      settings provided in a getdns_dict. This can reduce the amount of
      code needed to setup a context in a C program. It also facilitates
      default values for extensions and allows the trust anchor and root
      servers to be read from files directly.

    * a getdns_context_set_listen_addresses() function, that allows the
      user to register a request handler function and list of addresses
      that will be listened on when the eventloop is run. The request
      handler function will be called when a DNS requests arrives, with
      the request in getdns reply dict format. The request handler may
      construct a response to the request and eventually has to call
      getdns_reply() with that response (or NULL to cancel) to answer
      the request.

  * Enhancements to the logic used to select connection based upstream
    transports (TCP, TLS) to improve robustness and re-use of
    connections/upstreams. This facilitates using getdns locally as a
    DNS-over-TLS stub resolver.
