This introduces /run/systemd/resolve.hook/ as a new directory that local (privileged) programs can bind a Varlink socket into. If they do they'll get a method call for each attempted resolved lookup, which they can then either process themselves (and generate new records for, or return errors to block stuff) or let pass so that the regular resolution is done. Usecase for this is primarily two things: 1. in machined we can add local resolution of machine names to their IP addresses, similar in fashion to nss-mymachines, but working also if the non-NSS interfaces to name resolution are used, i.e. the local DNS responder. In fact, I think we should eventually remove nss-mymachines from our tree, as soon as this code in resolved is setlled. 2. in networkd we can add local resolution of names specified in DHCP leases we hand out. But beyond that there should be many other uses, for example people could write "dns firewalls" with this if they like where they dynamically block certain names from resolution. Fixes: #8518
