Kyle Mestery 0de1d8d4ca dhcp: Default to using local DNS resolution
It's pointless to not include default DNS resolution for Neutron.
This adds a new config option (dnsmasq_local_resolv) which defaults
to 'True' and will allow for DNS name resolution to work out of
the box. The caveat is that if the 'dnsmasq_dns_servers' is set it
will override the 'dnsmasq_local_resolv' setting, thus allowing
operators to explicitly set their own DNS servers.

DocImpact: Default to using local DNS resolution with the DHCP agent.

fixes:
- Prior to Mitaka, neither specifying DNS resolvers via the
'dnsmasq_dns_servers' option in the DHCP agent configuration file nor via
neutron subnet options causes the dnsmasq service to offer the IP address
on which it resides to instances for name resolution. However, the static
dnsmasq '--no-resolv' process argument prevents name resolution via dnsmasq
leaving instances without name resolution. In Mitaka+, the
'dnsmasq_local_resolv' option in the DHCP agent configuration file enables
(by default) the dnsmasq service to provide name resolution for instances
via DNS resolvers on the host running the DHCP agent by effectively
removing the '--no-resolv' option from the dnsmasq process arguments.
Adding custom DNS resolvers to the 'dnsmasq_dns_servers' option in the DHCP
agent configuration file disables this feature.
