PTR domain is now configurable, defaults to nip.io

Default PTR record domain has changed from "sslip.io" to "nip.io".
For example, `dig -x 127.0.0.1 @ns.nip.io` previously returned
`127-0-0-1.sslip.io.`, now returns `127-0-0-1.nip.io.`

Previously, the PTR domain was hard-coded to `sslip.io.`, but this
commit introduces two changes:

- the default PTR domain is now `nip.io.`. Hey, it's shorter.
- the PTR domain can now be set with the `-ptr-domain` flag, e.g. `go
  run main.go -ptr-domain=xip.example.com` and then querying `dig -x
  169.254.169.254` would return `169-254-169-254.xip.example.com.`

Notes:

- Our new flag, `-ptr-domain`, follows the kebab-case convention of
  Golang flags, but this is inconsistent with our previous camelCase
  convention, e.g. `-blocklistURL`. We didn't know any better, and it's
  too late to change existing flags.
- removed two comment-out `panic()` whose purpose has long since been
  forgotten
- I don't feel bad about changing the default behavior because hardly
  anyone uses PTR lookups. Out of 12,773,617,290 queries, only 1564 were
  PTR records (0.000012%)!
- In that vein, I acknowledge that this is a feature that no one's
  clamoring for, no one will use, but it's important to me for reasons
  that I don't fully understand.
