After discussing a bit dns updates with Rob and Stephen on IRC here it
is a third patch that adds a --enable-dns-updates option.

Dns updates are performed only if this options is enabled or no entry
exists in DNS at all for the host.

If the option is enabled sssd is also configured to keep updating the
DNS during the life of the machine so that IP changes (laptops, dhcp,
etc..) are recorded in DNS properly.

Simo.
