Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I rewrote a small utility called dnstracer into rust https://crates.io/crates/dnstracer and there are a couple of flags I was not able to really implement, those are setting the EDNS0 bit when making a query, and setting the EDNS0 buffer.

The code I use to make each dns query is here https://gitlab.com/mat813/dnstracer-rs/-/blob/v0.9.1/src/resolver.rs?ref_type=tags#L227-241

Describe the solution you'd like

Would like to be able to set more options DNS options in hickory_client::client::Client.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I looked into the code and there is a use_edns field in AsyncClient, but I could not figure out how to set it when using the SyncClient.

I'd suggest just using AsyncClient and wrapping it in a block_on() call or similar. Any reason you're avoid the async API?

I am not trying to avoid the async API, I found examples of how to work with the Sync API, and as the utility I am writing is simple, I don't need any async features.

The synchronous Client API was removed in #2521.
