in domain dnscheck, also check for hostname of mail server resolving to a loopback ip

nowadays the quickstart will warn about this, but it may be missed/ignored. and
users that installed mox a few versions ago never got the warning. so now we
keep warning about it in the dns check.

based on feedback from Mendel on slack, thanks!
