[Dnsmasq-discuss] Enable bogus-priv by default

Hi Simon & list,

Ok, here's the controversial idea.  Can we consider enabling
'bogus-priv' by default and have an additional option say 'allow-priv'
to now disable?

My feeling is that not forwarding 'link-local' type requests upstream by
default is a cleaner way of having things configured.  Bearing in mind
the popularity of dnsmasq in all sorts of devices (Internet of Things) a
'be kind to your upstream servers and don't ask daft questions' default
should at least be considered.

I'm sure the flaws in my idea, logic and thinking will now be loudly
explained :-)

Kind regards,

Kevin
