Added support to auto discovery with SRV DNS registry (#60)
* Added support to auto discovery witih SRV

The yaml configuration has been modified to suport srv parameters.
Now the name is taken form the router identity to allow dynamic
discovery of devices based on SRV registry.

* Corrected format

* feat(collector): Added support to use custom DNS

* feat(collector): get default dns server from resolv.conf

* Remove getIdentity on the static config devices

## prometheus-mikrotik
tl;dr - prometheus exporter for mikrotik devices
This is still a work in progress .. consider `master` at the moment as a preview
release.
#### Description
A Prometheus Exporter for Mikrotik devices. Can be configured to collect metrics
from a single device or multiple devices. Single device monitoring can be configured
all on the command line. Multiple devices require a configuration file. A user will
be required that has read-only access to the device configuration via the API.
Currently the exporter collects metrics for interfaces and system resources. Others
can be added as long as published via the API.
#### Mikrotik Config
Create a user on the device that has API and read-only access.
`/user group add name=prometheus policy=api,read,winbox`
Create the user to access the API via.
`/user add name=prometheus group=prometheus password=changeme`
#### Single Device
`./mikrotik-exporter -address 10.10.0.1 -device my_router -password changeme -user prometheus`
where `address` is the address of your router. `device` is the label name for the device
in the metrics output to prometheus. The `user` and `password` are the ones you
created for the exporter to use to access the API.
#### Config File
`./mikrotik-exporter -config-file config.yml`
where `config-file` is the path to a config file in YAML format.
###### example config
```yaml
devices:
- name: my_router
address: 10.10.0.1
user: prometheus
password: changeme
- name: my_second_router
address: 10.10.0.2
port: 8999
user: prometheus2
password: password_to_second_router
- name: routers_srv_dns
srv:
record: _mikrotik._udp.example.com
user: prometheus
password: password_to_all_dns_routers
- name: routers_srv_custom_dns
srv:
record: _mikrotik2._udp.example.com
dns:
address: 1.1.1.1
port: 53
user: prometheus
password: password_to_all_dns_routers
features:
bgp: true
dhcp: true
dhcpv6: true
dhcpl: true
routes: true
pools: true
optics: true
```
If you add a devices with the `srv` parameter instead of `address` the exporter will perform a DNS query
to obtain the SRV record and discover the devices dynamically. Also, you can specify a DNS server to use
on the query.
