Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns/issues/3087

Describe the bug
(ResolverOpts.positive_max_ttl)[https://docs.rs/hickory-resolver/0.25.2/hickory_resolver/config/struct.ResolverOpts.html#structfield.positive_max_ttl] and ResolverOpts.negative_max_ttl refer to MAX_TTL as the default value. However this value is pub(crate) and therefore not accessible. The link in the docs does not work and returns a 404.

To Reproduce
Go to https://docs.rs/hickory-resolver/0.25.2/hickory_resolver/config/struct.ResolverOpts.html#structfield.positive_max_ttl and click on MAX_TTL.

Expected behavior
Being able to view MAX_TTL or have it specified as Otherwise, this will default to a unspecified amount of seconds.

Version:
Crate: resolver
Version: 0.25.2

Additional context
I can open a PR for making MAX_TTL public or removing the link and not specifying a default.
