Add a note about pregenarating keys for key rolls

With dnssec-policy you can pregenerate keys and if they are eligible,
rather than creating a new key, a key is selected from the pregenerated
keys. A key is eligible if it is unused, i.e it has no key timing
metadata set.

@ -196,6 +196,11 @@ To roll a key sooner than scheduled, or to roll a key that
has an unlimited lifetime, use:
:option:`rndc dnssec -rollover -key 12345 dnssec.example. <rndc dnssec>`.
You can pregenerate keys and save them in the key directory. As long as the
key has no timing metadata set, it may be selected as a successor in the
upcoming key rollover. To pregenerate keys without setting key timing metadata,
use the `-G` option: ``dnssec-keygen -G dnssec.example.``.
To revert a signed zone back to an insecure zone, change
the zone configuration to use the built-in "insecure" policy. Detailed
instructions are described in :ref:`revert_to_unsigned`.
