Miek Gieben 96222927a3 middleware/httpproxy: Add (#439)
This PR adds a middleware that talks to dns.google.com over HTTPS,
meaning all your DNS traffic is encrypted when traversing your ISP and
the internet.

The `dns.google.com` address is re-resolved every 30 seconds.

# httpproxy
*httpproxy* proxies DNS request to a proxy using HTTPS (or HTTP/2 - not implemented). Usually this
involves sending a JSON payload over this transport and translating the response back to DNS. The
current supported backend is Google, using the URL: https://dns.google.com .
## Syntax
In its most basic form, a simple http proxy uses this syntax:
~~~
httpproxy FROM TO
~~~
* **FROM** is the base domain to match for the request to be proxied.
* **TO** is the destination endpoint to proxy to, accepted values here are `dns.google.com`.
For changing the defaults you can use the expanded syntax:
~~~
proxy FROM TO {
upstream ADDRESS...
}
~~~
* `upstream` defines upstream resolvers to be used (re-)resolve `dns.google.com` (or other names in the
future) every 30 seconds. When not specified the combo 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 is used.
## Metrics
If monitoring is enabled (via the *prometheus* directive) then the following metric is exported:
* coredns_httpproxy_request_count_total{zone, proto, family}
## Examples
Proxy all requests within example.org to Google's dns.google.com.
~~~
proxy example.org dns.google.com
~~~
Proxy everything, and re-lookup `dns.google.com` every 30 seconds using the resolvers specified
in /etc/resolv.conf.
~~~
proxy . dns.google.com {
upstream /etc/resolv.conf
}
~~~
