[v0.17.x] Allow dnsmasq to be backed by a local copy of CoreDNS

[kfr2]

This commit allows the user to specify that dnsmasq should be
backed by a pod-local copy of CoreDNS rather than relying on
the global CoreDNS service. If enabled, the dnsmasq-node
DaemonSet will be configured to use a local copy of CoreDN
for its resolution while setting the global CoreDNS service as
a fallback. This is handy in situations where the number of DNS
requests within a cluster grows large and causes resolution issues
as dnsmasq reaches out to the global CoreDNS service.

Additionally, several values passed to dnsmasq are now configurable
including its --cache-size and --dns-forward-max.

See this postmortem
for an investigation into this situation which was instrumental in
understanding issues we were facing. Many thanks to dominicgunn
for providing the manifests which I codified into this commit.

---

These features can be enabled and tuned by setting the following
values within cluster.yaml:

kubeDns:
  dnsmasq:
    coreDNSLocal:
      # When enabled, this will run a copy of CoreDNS within each DNS-masq pod and
      # configure the utility to use it for resolution.
      enabled: true

      # Defines the resource requests/limits for the coredns-local container.
      # cpu and/or memory constraints can be removed by setting the appropriate value(s)
      # to an empty string.
      resources:
        requests:
          cpu: 50m
          memory: 100Mi
        limits:
          cpu: 50m
          memory: 100Mi

    # The size of dnsmasq's cache.
    cacheSize: 50000

    # The maximum number of concurrent DNS queries.
    dnsForwardMax: 500

    # This option gives a default value for time-to-live (in seconds) which dnsmasq
    # uses to cache negative replies even in the absence of an SOA record.
    negTTL: 60

Needs a change to ensure we start up properly.

Hey @kfr2, could we flip some of the - locations in this templating? We're trimming whitespace on the end here, causing start up to try and (in some cases) deploy "${mfdir}/dnsmasq-node-coredns-local.yaml"deploy "${mfdir}/dnsmasq-node-ds.yaml" which is causing issues.

Sure thing!
