Subject: Add command to resolve a hostname. Returns True or raises NotFound.

Note that this doesn't rely on IPA having a configured DNS server.
It passes the host name to the resolver and doesn't try to do a lookup
within the IPA DNS directly (e.g. no internal LDAP search).

Tries to determine if a domain is included and if not then the IPA
domain is added. This won't do the right thing if there are multiple
configured subdomains.
