Ryan Malloy 6268e6eafd Sign responses to TSIG-signed UPDATEs (RFC 8945 §5.4.2)
When a request arrives with TSIG, attach a TSIG record to the response
so dns.ResponseWriter computes the MAC at write time using the secret
in TsigSecret. Without this, BIND nsupdate complains "expected a TSIG
or SIG(0)" on every UPDATE, even when the update applies successfully.

Two response paths fixed:
  - handleUpdate success/per-rcode replies (update.go)
  - ServeDNS rejection when TSIG verification fails (plugin.go)

The new helper in tsig.go is a no-op for unsigned requests. Unknown
keys still silently skip signing — we can't authenticate to a peer we
don't share a key with.

Tests verify both branches: signed request → response carries matching
TSIG (key name + algorithm); unsigned request → response stays plain.

// handleUpdate implements the RFC 2136 UPDATE opcode against the
// on-disk zone file.
//
// Sequence per UPDATE message:
// 1. Validate the Zone section (RFC 2136 §2.3): must be exactly one
// SOA-typed record whose name is a zone we manage.
// 2. Acquire the zone file's mutex.
// 3. Load the file's RRs into memory.
// 4. Check each prerequisite (§3.2) against the loaded RRs. First
// failure short-circuits with the spec's rcode.
// 5. Apply each update RR (§3.4.2) to the in-memory slice.
// 6. Bump the SOA serial (CalVer YYYYMMDDNN).
// 7. Atomic write to disk (temp file + rename).
// 8. Optionally `git add && git commit` for audit trail.
//
// Steps 3-7 happen under the zone-file mutex. If 8 fails we log but
// don't roll back (the on-disk state is authoritative; lost commits
// can be re-staged via `git add` later).
