cli: implement `tailscale dns status` (#13353)

Updates tailscale/tailscale#13326

This PR begins implementing a `tailscale dns` command group in the Tailscale CLI. It provides an initial implementation of `tailscale dns status` which dumps the state of the internal DNS forwarder.

Two new endpoints were added in LocalAPI to support the CLI functionality:

- `/netmap`: dumps a copy of the last received network map (because the CLI shouldn't have to listen to the ipn bus for a copy)
- `/dns-osconfig`: dumps the OS DNS configuration (this will be very handy for the UI clients as well, as they currently do not display this information)

My plan is to implement other subcommands mentioned in tailscale/tailscale#13326, such as `query`, in later PRs.

The --all flag can be used to output advanced debugging information, including fallback resolvers, nameservers, certificate domains, extra records, and the exit node filtered set.
=== Contents of the MagicDNS configuration ===
The MagicDNS configuration is provided by the coordination server to the client and includes the following components:
- MagicDNS enablement status: Indicates whether MagicDNS is enabled across the entire tailnet.
- MagicDNS Suffix: The DNS suffix used for devices within your tailnet.
- DNS Name: The DNS name that other devices in the tailnet can use to reach this device.
- Resolvers: The preferred DNS resolver(s) to be used for resolving queries, in order of preference. If no resolvers are listed here, the system defaults are used.
- Split DNS Routes: Custom DNS resolvers may be used to resolve hostnames in specific domains, this is also known as a 'Split DNS' configuration. The mapping of domains to their respective resolvers is provided here.
- Certificate Domains: The DNS names for which the coordination server will assist in provisioning TLS certificates.
- Extra Records: Additional DNS records that the coordination server might provide to the internal DNS resolver.
- Exit Node Filtered Set: DNS suffixes that the node, when acting as an exit node DNS proxy, will not answer.
