improve quickstart and readme for better first-time experience
- make the example commands in the readme more likely to succeed, especially for people who are not familiar with go and its toolchain. - improve probability that the correct configuration is generated, especially the hostname. previously, if the quickstart email address was "some.domain", and the machine where you ran the quickstart was "myhost", the hostname used for the configuration was assumed to be "myhost.some.domain". but this is often not correct, especially when configuring mox to serve mail on a subdomain of an existing domain. mox will now try to determine the host name by a reverse lookup of the public ips it found. and it will warn if there are no/multiple candidates. based on feedback from erik dubbelboer, thanks!
