Add warning for --dns flag set to localhost addresses.

We should warn users who use the `--dns` command line option to point
DNS to a localhost address, either IPv4 or IPv6.  Unless they have
specifically set up the container as a DNS server or are using
--net=host (which is why this should be allowed, but warned on because
those are pretty unique cases) a localhost address as a resolver will
not reach what they might expect (e.g. expecting it will hit localhost
on the Docker daemon/host).

Added a test for the message, and fixed up tests to separate stdout and
stderr that were using `--dns=127.0.0.1` to test the options.
