dns option: remove support for exclude-domains

No DNS resolver currently supports this and it is not possible to
emulate the behavior without the chance of errors. Finding the
effective default system DNS server(s) to specify the exclude
DNS routes is not trivial and cannot be verified to be correct
without resolver internal knowledge. So, it is better to not
support this instead of supporting it, but incorrectly.

-  The ``resolve-domains`` and ``exclude-domains`` options take one or
-  more DNS domains which are explicitly resolved or explicitly not resolved
-  by a server. Only one of the options can be configured for a server.
-  ``resolve-domains`` is used to define a split-dns setup, where only
-  given domains are resolved by a server. ``exclude-domains`` is used to
-  define domains which will never be resolved by a server (e.g. domains
-  which can only be resolved locally). Systems which do not support fine
-  grained DNS domain configuration, will ignore these settings.

+  configuration will ignore this setting.
 
   The ``dnssec`` option is used to configure validation of DNSSEC records.
   While the exact semantics may differ for resolvers on different systems,
