Last night the dumb-idea fairy visited me as I was falling asleep, and
suggested that another way to reduce the impact of ANY queries would be
to pick *one* rrset and return just that. (Probably the numerically
smallest rrtype present at the node, plus RRSIGs if any.)

This avoids poisoning caches with false NODATA, it works for both DNSSEC
and non-DNSSEC zones, meets djb's requirements, makes ANY responses small,
and we don't need to argue about what rrtype to use for synthesized
responses in non-DNSSEC answers.  Still leaks some data (which admittedly
undermines the motivation of Olafur's draft) but not as much and what gets
leaked would be trivial to acquire by other means anyway.
