Easily changeable DNS settings. #969

As any feature request, feel free to dismiss as not in the roadmap.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
At home I have a DNS server that I control, so I let TC use it. But when I'm on a public WiFi, and sometimes with with my 4G carrier, the DHCP configured DNS refuses to resolves certain domains. In these cases I use some more trustworthy pubic DNS servers. But when I go back home, TC is not using the internal DNS, so I can't connect to local machines based on the local DNS.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally, DNS server settings based on the Internet connection/SSID, but this could be too much.

Second best, a dropdown that allows selecting from previous configured DNS server pairs, with an option for "none" (meaning use the DHCP ones), and an option to add a new pair.

Third option, a checkbox to disable arbitrary DNS servers, so I don't have to retype and delete them every time I switch from one mode to another.

The last two could include a different icon in the status bar so one could see if it's using an arbitrary DNS or not, but given it's so small maybe one would not notice anyway.

IMO.

    why can you not connect to machines on the local net? that shouldn't be dependent on DNS?

    Well, it is because I run my own DHCP/DNS server, and don't rely on mDNS.
