dnscheck: query recursive resolvers directly, not the system one

The PTR check reported a correctly published record as wrong. The lookups
went through the container's resolver (127.0.0.11) which forwards to the
host's systemd-resolved, and systemd-resolved synthesises the reverse
lookup of the machine's own addresses from the local hostname rather than
asking public DNS. On the production host that meant

    81.30.105.2 -> magenta-pink-heliotrope16786 (does not match)

while public DNS has had 81.30.105.2 -> selfpost.mixfed.ru all along.

These checks exist to report what a receiving mail server sees, so they
now dial recursive resolvers themselves, defaulting to 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8
and 9.9.9.9 and overridable with SELFPOST_DNS_RESOLVERS. The e2e stand
sets it to its CoreDNS, which the `dns:` directive alone no longer covers.

### Fixed
- panel: the PTR (reverse DNS) check no longer reports a correctly published
record as wrong. The checks went through the container's own resolver, which
forwards to the host's systemd-resolved — and systemd-resolved answers the
reverse lookup of the machine's own IP from the local hostname instead of
asking public DNS. A server with `81.30.105.2 → selfpost.example.com` in DNS
was told its PTR pointed at the provider-assigned hostname. All four
deliverability checks (PTR, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) now query recursive resolvers
directly, so the panel reports what a receiving mail server actually sees.
Set `SELFPOST_DNS_RESOLVERS` if outbound port 53 is closed or you run your
own recursor; it defaults to 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9.
### Changed
- panel: the three monitoring pages now live at URLs that match their nav
