I'm seeing a lot of the following in my logs:

synapse.http.endpoint - 398 - WARNING - - Ignoring unexpected DNS record type 5 for <host>

Some homeservers (about 100, based on my stats) have a host in the SRV record that is a CNAME to another host. It seems to be a relatively common misconfiguration.
This PR clarifies that it is not allowed.
