dns: TTL for TXT entries #39399
Description
The dns.lookupTxt() function returns the TXT entries but omits the TTL entries. This is a problem if one intends to add a cache on top of lookupTxt()
Describe the solution you'd like
Probably the best I could see is to have an option for lookupTxt in the form of { ttl: true } that returns a value + ttl object instead of a simple string:
dns.lookupTxt('domain', { ttl: true }, (err, data) => {
data[0].value // text entry
data[0].ttl // ttl number
})

It doesn't look like cares supports this out of the box. c-ares/c-ares#393 seems to be some progress though.
I did find a patch thanks to @saghul's work on https://github.com/saghul/pycares that adds TTL support to cares, but it breaks ABI

#14713 is the Node.js issue tracking things "missing" from c-ares.

Also, #38184 could be the solution to many of these :)
