[dns-operations] Updating named.root for the mere purpose of updating it?!

I don't know how the file is generated, which is why I used the word
"probably". My guess is based on the fact that the file published on
www.internic.net contains the former names of the root name servers, and
the order of the entries and TTLs are different from what rootns.c would
produce.
