unbound: provide transparent defaults with documentation
Some resource options bundled many Unbound.conf options and made customizing on top of UCI difficult. Make it easier to use Unbound built defaults (blank conf sections). Signed-off-by: Eric Luehrsen <ericluehrsen@hotmail.com>

option protocol 'mixed'
Unbound can limit its protocol used for recursive queries.
- Set 'ip4_only' to avoid issues if you do not have native IP6.

option recursion 'passive'
- Unbound has numerous options for how it recurses. This UCI combines
