Add automatic DNS forwarder setup for IPA-AD trust

IPA trust tests fail with "Unable to read domain information"
when IPA's DNS cannot resolve the AD domain.

Added setup_dns_forwarder() to IPATrustADTopologyController that:
Creates a DNS forward zone for the AD domain
Resolves AD hostname to IP (required by ipa dnsforwardzone-add)
Restarts named to apply the configuration
