Add DNS-aware whitelisting feature

Support for whitelisting SIP trunks and providers by hostname or SRV record with automatic IP resolution and periodic refresh. Features: - Hostname resolution via A/AAAA records - SRV record resolution (e.g., _sip._udp.provider.com) - Configurable refresh interval (default 5m) - Stale entry handling when DNS fails - Admin API endpoints for DNS whitelist management - Caddyfile directives: whitelist_hosts, whitelist_srv, dns_refresh This allows whitelisting by provider name rather than tracking constantly-changing IP addresses.

+### DNS-aware Whitelisting
+
+Whitelist SIP trunks and providers by hostname or SRV record. IPs are automatically resolved and refreshed:
+
+```caddyfile
+sip_guardian {
+    # Static CIDR whitelist (always available)
+    whitelist 10.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/16
+
+    # DNS-aware whitelist - resolved to IPs automatically
+    whitelist_hosts pbx.example.com trunk.sipcarrier.net
+    whitelist_srv _sip._udp.provider.com _sip._tcp.carrier.net
+    dns_refresh 5m  # How often to refresh DNS lookups (default: 5m)
+}
+```
+
+**Why DNS-aware whitelisting?**
+
+| Static IP Whitelisting | DNS-aware Whitelisting |
+|------------------------|------------------------|
+| Breaks when provider changes IPs | Auto-updates when IPs change |
+| Must manually track carrier IPs | Just use their SRV record |
+| Fails silently on changes | Logs refresh events |
+
+**SRV Record Support:**
+
+SIP trunks commonly use SRV records for load balancing and failover. SIP Guardian resolves the full chain:
+```
+_sip._udp.carrier.com → sip1.carrier.com, sip2.carrier.com → 203.0.113.10, 203.0.113.11
+```
+
+**Admin API Endpoints:**
+
+| Method | Endpoint | Description |
+|--------|----------|-------------|
+| `GET` | `/api/sip-guardian/dns-whitelist` | List all resolved DNS entries |
+| `POST` | `/api/sip-guardian/dns-whitelist/refresh` | Force immediate DNS refresh |
