DNS TAPIR fork

The complexity of logging DNS is growing, with new transports, encryption, protocol extensions, filtering, and not least the need for exposing internal server state. This modification is an attempt at creating a true "hot potato" handling of data, where the need for carrying persistent state throughout the query session is minimized.

Key changes:

Adding a required session identifier

The approach within the server is to send partial messages whenever the data is available
