smb.conf: add dns_zone_scavenging
Add parameter dns_zone_scavenging to control dns zone scavenging. Scavenging is disabled by default, as due to https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12451 the ageing properties of existing DNS entries are incorrect. Signed-off-by: Gary Lockyer <gary@catalyst.net.nz>
