Problem statement and rationale for doing this can be found under "Option C" at: ipfs/in-web-browsers#169 TLDR is: `https://dweb.link/ipns/my.v-long.example.com` can be loaded from a subdomain gateway with a wildcard TLS cert if represented as a single DNS label: `https://my-v--long-example-com.ipns.dweb.link`

PR in action:
- User opens
ipns://en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org/wiki - User agent (eg. web browser) resolves
ipns://URI via public gateway athttps://example.com/ipns/en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org/wikiwhich returns HTTP 301 redirect tohttps://en-wikipedia--on--ipfs-org.ipns.example.com/wikiifX-Forwarded-Proto: httpsis present.

This kinda enables to run their custom DNS resolver with custom tlds/names that are independent from the public DNS network.

TLDR
This PR enables users of public gateways to load DNSlink websites without TLS error described in ipfs/in-web-browsers#169.
It not only makes DNSLink websites more resilient, but makes it easier to resolve
ipns://URIs in Opera Mobile and Brave (when a public gateway is selected as a resolution method).Details
dweb.linkto provide DNSLink hosting service over HTTPS with astandard single-level-wildcard TLS certificate.
X-Forwarded-Proto: httpsis present (opt-in made by gateway operator), no additional configuration is needed.How DNSlink name inlining works
Below is a real life example of a DNSlink name inlined into a single DNS label that works with a wildcard TLS cert for
*.ipns.dweb.link:/ipns/en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org→ipns://en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org→https://dweb.link/ipns/en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.orghttps://en-wikipedia--on--ipfs-org.ipns.dweb.link👈 a single DNS label, no TLS errorUse cases fixed by this PR
my.v-long.example.combut the original HTTP server is down. The hostname has DNSLink set up.User should be able to load website not only from a local gateway, but any public one.
ipns://URIs using public gateway (eg.dweb.link).ipns://my.v-long.example.com→https://dweb.link/ipns/my.v-long.example.com→ (HTTP 301) →https://my-v--long-example-com.ipns.dweb.link
