Can you support socks5h in the `type` field of redsocks.conf?

@semigodking , thanks for your wonderful development works on redsocks after darkk stopped supporting redsocks in the past several years. It's cool and thanks a lot.

/etc/redsocks.conf

base {
  log_debug = on;
  log_info = on;
  log = "stderr";
  daemon = off;
  redirector = iptables;
}

redsocks {
  bind = "127.0.0.1:12345";
  relay = "gate.visitxiangtan.com:7000";
  type = socks5;
  timeout = 300;
}

I checked and tried many times for these 2 situations

curl -4 -x socks5://gate.visitxiangtan.com:7000 -v https://example.com/ If set as socks5, the access is not stable. seems 50% failed.

curl -4 -x socks5h://gate.visitxiangtan.com:7000 -v https://example.com/ If set as socks5h, the access is very stable. 100% succeeded.

So, Can you add socks5h support in type field?

Another, Seems all main proxy services are now supporting socks5h, and lots of them support socks5h only and not socks5, though we can use socks5 with some different ways, but officially, they do recommend socks5h only. For example, Smartproxy, Packetstream, etc.

Causes lots of proxy services provider support socks5h ONLY officially, socks5 maybe meet some auth issues in proxy provider end here and there. That's why socks5 access is so weak and not stable, I guess.

Socks5h is used by applications which knows domain name being requested. Redsocks works in IP layer and has no idea about the domain name. So, nothing can be done here
