plugin/sign: fix signing of authoritative data (#3479)

Don't sign data we are not authoritative for. This adds an AuthWalk
which skips names we should not authoritative for. Adds a few tests to
check this is the case. Generates zones have been compared to
dnssec-signzone.

A number of changes have been made:

* don't add DS records to the apex
* NSEC TTL is the SOA's minttl value (copying bind9)
* Various cleanups
* signer struct was cleaned up: doesn't need ttl, nor expiration or
  inception.
* plugin/sign: remove apex stuff from names()
  This is never used because we will always have other types in the
  apex, because we *ADD* them ourselves, before we sign (DNSKEY, CDS and
  CDNSKEY).
