Sometimes in a zone we reuse the same IP Addresses a lot, and CNAMEs are not always appropriate, it would be nice to be able to define the ip once, and then use the variable against elsewhere.

This is probably a light-weight version of #24 but same-zone-only or so.

I'm not 100% sure if RRCLONE does what I wanted here originally, but it's probably close enough.

RRCLONE improvements (Filtering, hasNS) (Issue #50)
2016c8d 
- hasNS checks should now resolve if the root domain has an RRCLONE record.
- RRCLONE contents can specify types to import, eg: '(A,AAAA) domain.com' would import only A and AAAA records not MX.

Support for names beginning with $ to be used as targets for RRCLONE …
1cb196c 
…records. (#50)

- Names beginning with $ will not be output to the zone file.
- RRCLONE records can point at these records to make use of them

Disabled RRCLONE records checking that the target exists, they will now just resolve to nothing if they do not.

Added "raw" export type to allow exporting zones as-is, including variable-named records and without RRCLONE records being expanded. (BIND import type will accept these records already)

This is probably now closer to what I wanted.

$name records get validated as normal so RRCLONE doesn't need to do any weird special validation of itself as it knows it will be cloning a valid record (if one exists).

Some kind of documentation now exists: https://api.mydnshost.co.uk/1.0/docs/#header-rrclone
