Add support for dnsmasq

[thedebugger]

What do you guys think about adding support for dnsmasq in separate recipe? I can submit a pull request.

I'm not sure to understand correctly the link between dnsmasq and consul? Do you want to leverage consul service discovery to configure dnsmasq? If so, it looks like there is better way to handle that. So I would not tied this cookbook to dnsmasq.

@lyrixx I meant for DNS forwarding – http://www.consul.io/docs/guides/forwarding.html – but dnsmasq instead of bind. We run dnsmasq on all Consul client nodes insteading of serving Consul queries from our centeral dns server.

Yes, this would be nice, and simple

What I've done that works on amazon linux:

package 'dnsmasq' do
  action :install
end

service 'dnsmasq' do
  action :start
end

file '/etc/dnsmasq.conf' do
  content "server=/consul/127.0.0.1##{node[:consul][:ports][:dns]}"
  notifies :reload, "service[dnsmasq]", :immediately
end

service "network" do
  action :nothing
end

file "/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf" do
  content <<-eos
timeout 300;
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
  eos
  notifies :restart, "service[network]"
end

I don't think this is an enhancement on our end. Its something you would provide in an environment or wrapper cookbook.
