DL6ER 70aa28926b tests: serve a local root zone so DNSSEC validation is hermetic
The API test suite asserts exact DNS query counters. Several of them
(`TOTAL`, `DNSKEY`, `DS`, `TOP_DOMAIN`) depend on how many DNSKEY/DS
lookups dnsmasq issues while validating DNSSEC. Until now those lookups
recursed to the live ICANN root, because FTL configures the real root
trust anchors whenever `dns.dnssec` is enabled and the local PowerDNS
recursor had no root zone of its own. The number of root DNSKEY queries
therefore tracked ICANN's published root key set, so an ongoing
key-signing-key rollover silently shifted the counters (9 -> 7 DNSKEY)
and broke the suite even on unrelated PRs.

We make the whole suite hermetic:

1. Serve a locally-signed root zone from PowerDNS, forward `.` to it and
   trust its key, so root DNSKEY validation resolves inside the test
   environment instead of reaching the internet.
2. Mark the locally-served *unsigned* zones (`icloud.com`,
   `apple-dns.net`, `in-addr.arpa`, `ip6.arpa`) as local domains, so
   dnsmasq no longer proves them unsigned by walking up to the real root.
3. Give the `bogus` zone a deliberately mismatched local trust anchor so
   it fails validation locally rather than by failing to find a secure
   delegation at the root.
4. Drop the root-key pre-warm `dig`, an internet round-trip that no
   longer serves any purpose.

With no query leaving for the real root the counters are stable and
independent of ICANN key rollovers, so they are recalibrated
accordingly. Marking the extra zones as local emits the same "negative
DS reply without NS record" warning already whitelisted for `ftl`, so
the `test_final` whitelist is broadened to match it for any zone.
