Add example of UDP usage, without detailing each access right, but with an explicit note about the need to handle both SENDTO and CONNECT to completely block sending (which could otherwise be overlooked). Slightly change the example used in code blocks: build a ruleset for a DNS client, so that it uses both TCP and UDP. Also consider an opaque implementation so that we get to introduce both the right to connect() and sendmsg(addr != NULL) within the same example.
