BIND 9.10 dig tool support EDNS client subnet

Seen from release notes of BIND 9.10, dig tool included in BIND 9.10 supports EDNS client subnet.

Before BIND 9.10, we need to apply a patch to use EDNS client subnet with dig.

README

- "dig +subnet" sends an EDNS CLIENT-SUBNET option when           querying.
