fix: Add more examples of correctly placed DNS TXT record for SSO setup
## Context / Background Dashboard SSO setup recently got way easier. The DNS TXT record strategy for quickly verifying that someone has administrative control over a particular domain name works great. But, there has been a small bit of confusion about how to correctly configure the DNS TXT record, so this change is just adding a section that will help users check their own work and ensure the TXT record was correctly placed. ## In this PR - Updated `dash-sso-apps.mdx` to add a guide to run a test and see if the DNS record was correctly placed.

Copy the verification code (for example `cloudflare_dashboard_sso=1111111`) and create a TXT record in your DNS configuration with that value. Cloudflare will automatically poll that DNS record until it is found or a timeout is reached within two days.

To test that the verification record was correctly configured, `dig` ([online version](https://digwebinterface.com/?type=TXT&short=on&ns=resolver&useresolver=1.1.1.1)) can be used to make a DNS request:

```bash title="dig command"
76+
dig cool.cats TXT +short
77+
"cloudflare_dashboard_sso=111111111"
78+
```

Notice that the correctly placed TXT record _includes_ the `cloudflare_dashboard_sso=` prefix.

If verification fails due to timeout, you may manually reinitiate the polling by running the following command:
