Extend DNS lookup commands to allow specifying the name server

* lisp/net/net-utils.el (ffap-string-at-point): Removed due to
'net-utils-machine-at-point' obviating this autoloaded
function (Bug#25426).
(dig-program-options): New customization variable.
(nslookup-host, dns-lookup-host, run-dig): Can now specify
optional name server argument interactively (by prefix arg) and
non-interactively.

* etc/NEWS: Mention the extension of DNS lookup commands.

** New user option 'dig-program-options' and extended functionality
for DNS-querying functions 'nslookup-host', 'dns-lookup-host',
and 'run-dig'. Each function now accepts an optional name server
argument interactively (with a prefix argument) and non-interactively.
