Subject: [PATCH 01/11] dnsapi/dns_miab.sh MIAB DNS-01 Validation

Know I'm new to contorting to this project. I i've broke conventions please let me know what I've screwed up and I'll set it right as quickly as possible.

Propose this as a new DNS-01 validation script to dynamically add challenge DNS records to MailinaBox (MIAB) DNS. MIAB uses a custom DNS API to manage external DNS records.

The script was originally written by Darven Dissek and can be found in his repository: https://framagit.org/DarvenDissek/acme.sh-MIAB-DNS-API/). This has been forked and some slight cleanup applied and change shebang to UNIx shell. The forked repository can be found here: https://github.com/billgertz/MIAB_dns_api.

Wrote to Darven but received no reply. Support for this script has been submitted to the OPNsense project via this pull request: https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/pull/1531

Subject: [PATCH 05/11] Removed parameters and unused code for _miab_post

Ok, should have noticed earlier that the calls to the private function _miab_post() never used the _needbase64_ or the __postContentType parameters. Parameters and code to handle them has been factored out.

Subject: [PATCH 08/11] Rewrite to conform to Dev guide

Created _get_root() that tests the requested host is a subdomain to the domains hosted on MailinaBox (MIAB) DNS Server. Created common _miab_rest() used with dns_miab_add(), dns_miab_rm() and _get_root(). Also created barbaric _is_json() to test the response given by the MIAB Custom DNS API at least looks like a JSON file. We should add a hint to use _normalizeJson with JSON responses so _startswith, _endswith won't perplexingly fail.

Subject: [PATCH 10/11] Updated to use _H1 Authorization: Basic

Updated to use suggested export _H1 env var to supply Authorization Basic credentials. This undocumented support for Basic Authorization, ContentType, etc. needs to be documented in DNSAPI Dev Guide. Removed two stray debugging lines.
