When redirecting DNS queries with the --dns-forward
option, passt/pasta
needs a host side nameserver to redirect the queries to. This is
controlled by the c->ip[46].dns_host variables. This is set to the first
first nameserver listed in the host's /etc/resolv.conf, and there isn't
currently a way to override it from the command line.
Prior to 0b25cac9 ("conf: Treat --dns addresses as guest visible
addresses") it was possible to alter this with the -D/--dns option.
However, doing so was confusing and had some nonsensical edge cases because
-D generally takes guest side addresses, rather than host side addresses.
Add a new --dns-host option to restore this functionality in a more
sensible way.
