Let replicas install without DNS

Let ipa-replica-prepare and ipa-replica-install work without
proper DNS records as records in /etc/hosts are sufficient for
DS replication.

  1) ipa-replica-prepare now just checks if the replica hostname
     is resolvable (DNS records are not required). It is now able
     to prepare a replica file even when the replica IP address is
     present in /etc/hosts only.
  2) ipa-replica-install is now able to proceed when the hostname
     is not resolvable. It uses an IP address passed in a new
     option --ip-address to create a record in /etc/hosts in the
     same way as ipa-server-install does.
