More cleanup is needed from a real ksh hacker, but looks already
pretty good to kn.

OK deraadt

In a reply on misc@, Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) explained some of the rationale:

[…]
We are moving from a model where dhclient on 1 interface believes it is
MASTER of /etc/resolv.conf and a bunch of system aspects, and the
userbase is familiar with a pile of hacky control knobs in
dhclient.conf.

Towards a model where multiple interfaces + unwind can advertise their
DNS resolution abilities to resolvd, which then sorts the offers and
maintains a configuration.

dhclient will remain available for people who want that old model, but I
suspect they will encounter increasing difficulty sticking to it.

Because the default configuration is changing.
