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.
