Can any other programs resolve addresses?

There are options documented in resolv.conf(5), but edns0 isn't one of
them. I believe it is supported by the libraries on some other Unix-ish
systems. Most likely, resolv.conf isn't the source of the problem, and
your version of that file would work fine if unbound were working.

If I'm guessing correctly, unbound is not starting at all. You can test
this easily by enabling unbound and then restarting it. You may get some
informative information printed out or entered into logs at that
time. My guess is that it won't actually start at all, and the
diagnostic messages will tell you why. It will almost certainly be
because you didn't set up unbound.conf properly; very likely you missed
either an "interface" or "forward-zone" setting.

Good luck.
