[Feature] Integrate resolution of OpenNIC domains (Emercoin, Namecoin, NewNations)

Although this is already a usable extension, having a fallback decentralized and non-authoritarian name resolution seems to fit nicely into the Brave Browsers core values.

ICANN has come under criticism for not recognizing Tibet or Taiwan as sovereign nations, and as such, not granting them a top level domain. The centralized TLD model has also been criticised as highly censorable since centralized governments or corporations can deregister any domain whose speech they find offensive.

In an attempt to make these decisions less centralized and authoritarian, alternative DNS roots have sprung up. OpenNIC is one of a few of these that peer with groups like NewNations, Emercoin and Namecoin to provide for nations whose status is in political dispute as well as to provide censorproof name resolution for organizations that do not want to have their name resolution centralized.

• overall value proposition is sound: OpenNIC supports resolution of regular DNS (ICANN TLDs) which makes it a useful alternative to sending all queries to Google or Cloudflare.
• fwiw it is no longer peered with Namecoin
• A potentially useful feature would be for Brave to detect user location changes and find the fastest servers from https://servers.opennic.org (especially if suppport for DoTLS/DNSCrypt is on the table).
• Another feature would be ability to resolve DNSLink on ipfs://dnslink.tld where .tld is one of TLDs from https://wiki.opennic.org/opennic/dot
