New component: dnstap

[atoulme]

The purpose and use-cases of the new component

dnstap is a flexible, structured binary log format for DNS software. It uses Protocol Buffers to encode events that occur inside DNS software in an implementation-neutral format. This is a binary stream of data. It's used in many modern DNS servers like Bind9 or Unbound.

Example configuration for the component
