[dnsdist] Feature request: RFC8914 EDE option for setDynBlocksAction

I'm quite a fan of RFC 8914 EDEs.

So I was thinking — wouldn’t it be nice if 'setDynBlocksAction' (and 
possibly others) supported an optional parameter to attach an EDE of 
your choice to the action?

There’s no specific code for rate limiting yet (I've floated the idea), 
so for now, code 0 with some explanatory text in the EXTRA-TEXT field 
seems like a reasonable workaround.

Or more broadly, this is a plea for more EDE support in dnsdist 
functions, starting with 'setDynBlocksAction'.
