Subject: Require that hosts be resolvable in DNS. Use --force to ignore
 warnings.

This also requires a resolvable hostname on services as well. I want
people to think long and hard about adding things that aren't resolvable.

The cert plugin can automatically create services on the user's behalf when
issuing a cert. It will always set the force flag to True.

We use a lot of made-up host names in the test system, all of which require
the force flag now.

ticket #25
