[Feature] Fetch latest working mirrors/links from Wikipedia #99

Description

@rishikeshsreehari

Many academic and scientific sites (like Sci-Hub or LibGen) are often suppressed in search engine results or frequently change their domains due to regional restrictions.

Currently, Wikipedia has become a de-facto "DNS over Wikipedia" for users looking for the latest working mirrors, as the community updates the infoboxes in real-time.

A similar concept of tunneling Wikipedia data through DNS has been explored by aaronjanse/dns-over-wikipedia.

I would like to propose a new utility to bring this functionality directly to the terminal.

Example Query:
dig scihub.link @dns.toys

Response:

scihub.link.  3600  IN  TXT  "https://sci-hub.se"
scihub.link.  3600  IN  TXT  "https://sci-hub.st"

@knadh : Happy to work on a PR for this if you are open to adding this!
