I agree with Patrik here. I don't want to waste a return value just for
dnssec. Also, just indicating "dnssec" isn't saying much, it basically
means "NSEC or RRSIG or DNSKEY or DS or NSEC3". Anyone who actually
needs to use that specific information will need to dig into the packet,
as we are doing. It's fine if dns.query in normal mode (not retPkt mode)
doesn't return all the information.
