Improve user awareness about dnsconfig

Global DNS configuration is a nice tool to maintain a common DNS
settings stored in LDAP which are then used for all enrolled IPA
servers. However, the settings stored in LDAP override local
settings in named.conf on DNS servers.

This patch adds more information about global DNS configuration
options in install scripts and DNS module help.
