Support for deSEC.io

[rosieeyes]

deSEC.io is a free, open-source DNS host. I've been using it for the past couple of days, seems to work pretty well thus far. The API reference is documented here.

I'm happy to work on a PR for this myself. Anything else I should know before cracking on with the developer guide?

After some reading further into deSEC's API, I think it might be best to develop support an API tool for deSEC.io separately from lexicon. This is mainly as it wouldn't be possible to do a bunch of zone and account management actions, as well as creating some (admittedly obscure) RRsets, via lexicon.

If no-one disagrees, I would recommend closing this issue.

In fact, deSEC.io should be compatible with the PowerDNS provider already in lexicon. It's worth someone testing it to make sure of that though.

I couldn't get it to work. It seems like the structure of deSEC's API URL:
https://desec.io/api/v1/domains/{name}/rrsets/
is different than that of regular powerDNS:
http://{domain}/servers/localhost/zones/{name}

Shame too, as deSEC is free, allows for subdomain zones, and also supports DNSSEC.

Can you provide some details on that? Perhaps we can improve things on the deSEC side. (I'm from the team.)

Currently we're using desec.io for the rerverse DNS zones of our Yunohost instance and Cloudflare for the forward zones.
It's quite annoying to have forward and reverse zones at different providers with different web-interfaces/APIs.
With desec.io support in Yunohost/lexicon I would happily move the forward zones from Cloudflare to desec.io.
