[DNS] Clarify custom SOA values availability (#19417)
* Update dns-record-types.mdx SOA records require an Account Entitlement for ENT customers, not enabled by default: Authoritative DNS - Custom SOA Record Allowed, so customers may need to reach out to support or their account teams to enable it * Update dns-record-types.mdx * Revert to Ent account but clarify existing zone vs defaults * Keep clearer structure but remove zone plan nuance --------- Co-authored-by: Nic <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Rebecca Tamachiro <[email protected]>
