Allow specifying a hostname instead of an IP adress by the
dns_rfc2136_serveroption in the credentials .ini file.The current state that only IP addresses are supported is not satisfactory because there might be DNS providers whose servers periodically change their IP address or might have different IPs due to load balancing.
There is also an open issue for that (#6282) and a very old PR (#5664) but this PR used socket.gethostbyname() which does not support IPv6.
