identity: Autodetect FreeIPA server with DNS (#50988)

Browse source 
* identity: Autodetect FreeIPA server with DNS

This adds the ability for the freeIPA related modules to be able to
auto-detect the IPA server through DNS.

This takes advantage of the fact that a lot of FreeIPA deployments
configure their hosts to use IPA as the nameserver.

This check is only used if we didn't set neither the ipa_host parameter,
nor the environment variable IPA_HOST.

* identity: Specify docs for DNS discovery of ipa_host

These docs specify that it can now default to DNS if the 'ipa-ca' entry
is available.
