While designed to populate resolv.conf(5), there is nothing resolvd(8) specific about the route message route(8) sends.
At least unwind(8) consumes and acts upon it; there might as well be other programs in ports that do such things, so describe it generically while going into required detail for our selected base daemons. OK? NB: I'll fix unwind.conf(5) wrt. `route nameserver' separately.
