Pierre Souchay 251156eb68 Added SOA configuration for DNS settings. (#4714)
This will allow to fine TUNE SOA settings sent by Consul in DNS responses,
for instance to be able to control negative ttl.

Will fix: https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/4713

# Example

Override all settings:

* min_ttl: 0 => 60s
* retry: 600 (10m) => 300s (5 minutes),
* expire: 86400 (24h) => 43200 (12h)
* refresh: 3600 (1h) => 1800 (30 minutes)

```
consul agent -dev -hcl 'dns_config={soa={min_ttl=60,retry=300,expire=43200,refresh=1800}}'
```

Result:
```
dig +multiline @localhost -p 8600 service.consul
