Feature #11312: Add Resolv::DNS::Resource::IN::SPF

The SPF type record (RFC4408 Section 3.1.1) is quite common now. The resolv library should probably support it. As a workaround I monkey patched in the resource class:

class Resolv::DNS::Resource::IN::SPF < Resolv::DNS::Resource::IN::TXT
  # resolv.rb doesn't define an SPF resource type.
  TypeValue = 99
  ClassValue = Resolv::DNS::Resource::IN::ClassValue

  Resolv::DNS::Resource::ClassHash[[TypeValue, ClassValue]] = self
end

I could formalize my monkeypatch into an actual patch. I would just need to know whether SPF should be listed in the ClassInsensitiveTypes array.
