v2.0.0

v2.0.0 introduces several major changes for ZDNS.

Highlights include:

The largest change was a refactor to split ZDNS into a core library and a CLI wrapper that utilizes the library. With this change, other Go tools will be able to interface directly with ZDNS without having to call and parse CLI output.
Support for DoH and DoT lookups
Proper --all-nameservers support that queries every nameserver at each step of the iteration process
CNAME/DNAME following for all lookups by default
--validate-dnssec adds support for a full validation of DNSSEC for a given record (thanks to @developStorm for this feature!)
Along with a host of bug fixes, performance improvements, testing enhancements, and smaller features.
