Start decoding EDE

Motivation

The beginnings of extended error codes are visible in the source.

Cloudflare public DNS now returns them and "dig" interprets them into comments.

I'd like to be able to "see" these as decomposed high level constructs inside dnspython.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Could adorn the Exception classes? or, they could be some other datastruct. I think their main use is as adjunct information to error/fail/nxdomain/timeout type responses which is why I think it might be populating the exception classes.

I would expect something like list of EDEs, where each item is [enum-value, extra-text]. It probably makes sense to tack it onto Exceptions thrown from resolver, but for non-error cases I think DNS message might get a helper property to extract this from EDNS.

Yes that makes sense. G
