Description

Enable DNS lookup for web environments (wasm-bindgen). This can be achieved with DNS over HTTPS.

Motivation

I want to be able to use /dnsaddr in web environments.

Requirements

There are two options to implement this:

1. libp2p-dns needs to be internally refactored to hide hickory types from WASM. Also we need to decide if we are going to support DoH to native systems as well, or if it will be just for WASM.
2. Create libp2p-dns-websys. The bad thing about this is to reimplement all the retry logic. The good part about this is that we need to implement support only for /dnsaddr since /dns can be handled well by *-websys transprots.

Examples of querying DoH:

Lookup for IPv4

curl --header 'accept: application/dns-json' 'https://1.1.1.1/dns-query?type=1&name=cloudflare.com'

Lookup for IPv6

curl --header 'accept: application/dns-json' 'https://1.1.1.1/dns-query?type=28&name=cloudflare.com'

Lookup for TXT

curl --header 'accept: application/dns-json' 'https://1.1.1.1/dns-query?type=16&name=cloudflare.com'

Are you planning to do it yourself in a pull request ?
