#21903: Disable DNS in chutney by default, and add an option to enable it

----------------------------------+------------------
Due to #21900, we need to explicitly specify `ServerDNSResolvConfFile
/dev/null` for chutney to work on macOS when the network is unavailable.
We should also set `ServerDNSDetectHijacking 0`.
This should be the default, because:
* users who run chutney might not want it using DNS in a detectable
pattern, and
* it makes chutney more reliable, because it no longer depends on a
working DNS.
Some users will want chutney to be able to use hostnames, so we should add
a tools/test-network.sh option and environmental variable to re-enable the
default ServerDNSResolvConfFile setting (or, even better, use a custom
ServerDNSResolvConfFile).
There seems to be no reason to turn on ServerDNSDetectHijacking: some
users might be using chutney with internal DNS names.
