Openresolv package is a requirement and should be added to install docs

[F]

Learnt how to get WG working here
https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand/issues/1434 and it
describes how the openresolv package is needed to get WG to connect
properly. This is not noted in the official WG docs and the average
person would have difficulty figuring out why wg-quick doesn't connect.

That may be a requirement in the context that document was written for. But
that is not a requirement for wireguard.

The openresolv package is not a dependency of WireGuard. WireGuard itself
does not deal with DNS - the wg-quick tool simply sets up DNS servers for
wg interfaces for convenience. For example, I use Ubuntu 18.04 on my
laptop, and that distro uses systemd-resolvd. Therefore, I add the line
'PostUp = systemd-resolve -i %i --set-dns=193.138.218.74 --set-domain=~' to
my config file instead of the 'DNS = [DNS server here]' line.

I ran into this the other day, simply remove the DNS= line from your conf.

Probably should be documented that wg-quick will barf and tear down your
interface if you have DNS= but not `resolvconf` command.

wg-quick is also a part of wireguard.
