a container may name its resolvers and its own address

Mailu's 2024.06 admin refuses to serve behind a resolver that does not
validate DNSSEC, and the runtime's own forwarder (127.0.0.11) validates
nothing — so a module shipping its own validating resolver had a
resolver nothing could be pointed at. Found live, blocking a cutover:
the admin sat unhealthy, submission answered 454, and the declaration
language had no words for the fix.

Two fields on a container, both handed to the runtime verbatim: dns —
the resolvers it asks — and ip, its static address on its user-defined
network, which exists for exactly one shape: a container others must
reach before name resolution works, the resolver itself being the case
that forced it. Both take only addresses and are refused on arrival
otherwise — a name here would reach the runtime verbatim and be refused
at create, after the old container was already gone.
