s4:provision: Make gc._msdcs DNS entries A/AAAA records

When adding an additional DC as a GC server, the new DC attempts to register its
own gc._msdcs records.  If the existing gc._msdcs record is a CNAME, BIND fails
the update with the message "attempt to add non-CNAME alongside CNAME ignored",
and the new DC is not registered as a GC server.

The A & AAAA record types for gc._msdcs have been verified against the DNS
server of a W2K8 DC.
