[dns-operations] DNS version request

Yup, the only thing close is a setup on L root by Joe Abley couple years ago for the server id (not version).
By querying IDENTITY.L.ROOT-SERVERS.ORG IN TXT, the server id of L root can be retrieved through resolver.
But I don't think there is a query for server version of L root.

There is actually a RFC about various ways to retrieve server identity https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7108

And in the case of CHAOS class queries like version.bind, they're also
handled local to the responding server.  While I won't make the bold
claim that there's no DNS server software out there that might forward
them to some other server, the ones I know of just handle it in a
separate path that never sees forwarding or recursing.
