Michael Kerrisk b40dd7e45d resolv.conf.5: wfix

Carlos O'Donell 58822a7a1c resolv.conf.5: DESCRIPTION: mention that the data is trusted 
In a recent discussion about DNSSEC it was brought to my
attention that not all system administrators may understand
that the information in /etc/resolv.conf is fully trusted.
The resolver implementation in glibc treats /etc/resolv.conf
as a fully trusted source of DNS information and passes on
the AD-bit for DNSSEC as trusted.

This patch adds a clarifying sentence to make it absolutely
clear that indeed this source of information is trusted.

Done using a slightly modified version of Peter Schiffer's
convert_to_utf_8.sh script. The script was modified so as *not*
a "coding:" marker to the groff source. For now, we'll only put
that marker on pages that contain non-ASCII characters in the
rendered text.
