caddytls: dns_challenge_override_domain for challenge delegation (#4596)

* Add a override_domain option to allow DNS chanllenge delegation

CNAME can be used to delegate answering the chanllenge to another DNS
zone. One usage is to reduce the exposure of the DNS credential [1].
Based on the discussion in caddy/certmagic#160, we are adding an option
to allow the user explicitly specify the domain to delegate, instead of
following the CNAME chain.

This needs caddy/certmagic#160.

* rename override_domain to dns_challenge_override_domain

* Update CertMagic; fix spelling
