Description:
I see no reason dnsmasq should not be built with DNSSEC support.

At present even when forwarding DNS requests to, for example, 9.9.9.9 or 1.1.1.1 caching nameservers with DNSSEC support, the result on the local network is no DNSSEC protection.

For example, if you try to get an IP using dig or any other method of dnssec-failed.org, it should not return a ping because the DNSSEC is signed with an invalid key.  If your system returns an IP address for this domain name, you are at risk of DNS poisoning.

Comment:
Dnsmasq is already being compiled with DNSSEC support. It just isn't enabled by default. See  #41786. I am not entirely sure if it's worth it to enable DNSSEC by default and potentially breaking somebodys workflow

I am going to disagree with you there.  I get this error when setting the dnssec option in dnsmasq.conf

`% doas dnsmasq -u dnsmasq -g dnsmasq                 

dnsmasq: unsupported option (check that dnsmasq was compiled with DHCP/TFTP/DNSSEC/DBus support) at line 6 of /usr/share/dnsmasq/trust-anchors.conf`

My dnsmasq.conf file:
`conf-file=/usr/share/dnsmasq/trust-anchors.conf
dnssec
strict-order
no-resolv
server=::1#53000
listen-address=::1
no-dhcp-interface=::1
bind-interfaces
no-hosts
cache-size=1000`

I took a look at the template file.  I see the build option to build with DNSSEC support, but apparently that is not happening.

From the template:
`build_options="dnssec"
desc_option_dnssec="Enable DNSSEC support via nettle"`

What calls that build option to be set?

> Don't ping people just because they touched a template. We're a small, volunteer group without strict procedures for review and acceptance. People get to things when they get to them. When somebody comes along that has an interest in this package and in your change to the default build options, that person will likely comment or merge the changes.

Understood. Though I don't see how a new contributor could tell the difference between "reviewers have seen this but they're busy so they'll get to it eventually" and "there's something wrong with this PR so nobody's reviewing it".

> I have no idea whether enabling this option by default will break somebody's workflow. You show that the option works when you enable it, but offer no comments about what impact this change might have in existing users.

This option enables a feature that is disabled by default unless you have `dnssec` in the config file. It's not possible that someone already had this option enabled and their dnsmasq instance will suddenly start to behave differently, because non-dnssec-capable builds of dnsmasq will fail to start up if given that flag.

Enabling the dnssec build option also has the side effect of adding `nettle` as a dependency, which is tiny (600KB).

Also, it's pretty unlikely in 2023 that you would want to set up a DNS resolver that ignores DNSSEC. I don't know if Void has any guidelines for this type of thing, but having secure defaults (and not making users build their own package just to get a basic security feature) seems like a good idea to me.

Comment:
Not sure why this PR is being ignored; can I get a code review on this? @ahesford @paper42 since I see you most recently modified this file. @pullmoll since you added this build option.
