refactor: remove dyndnshosts/drophosts legacy config keys, fix DNS event logging

- Remove dyndnshosts legacy list; dyndns is now set per-host in the hosts section
- Remove drophosts config key and load-time deletion loop
- Simplify get_dyndnshosts() to only read per-host dyndns attributes
- Fix dns_update_worker to call eventlog with correct (host, level, msg) signature
- Log INFO/ERROR events per domain on each DNS update instead of one batched message
- Add logger to dns.py (was missing, causing NameError on update failure)
- Update README and tests to reflect removed config keys
