Uses the .dns property from #465 to resolve DNS TXT records.

This allows configuring discrete resolvers for different TLDs, unifies caching across different use of DNS (e.g. dnsaddr multiaddrs), etc.

Refs: ipfs/helia-verified-fetch#13 (comment)
Fixes: #369

BREAKING CHANGE: requires @helia/[email protected] or later, resolveDns has been renamed resolveDNSLink

Change checklist

  • I have performed a self-review of my own code
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation if necessary (this includes comments as well)
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works

Exposes a `.dns` property on the Helia interface for use with other
modules such as @helia/ipns.

#465 should be merged first to prevent this change causing a breaking change to cascade to other modules in this monorepo.

No, because we want to handle weird things like dnslink=/dnslink/blah.com

if there is a leading or trailing " will there always be the other?

Empirical evidence suggests yes, the spec is silent.

what's the method for users to pass a custom one-off resolver with these new changes?

We could add an optional dns?: DNS key, but the caching situation gets a little weird - is this something we do often?

It was requested by a user a few months ago, but a dnsResolver map might handle their usecase?
