Health Checker - Report Issue for no NICs Registered In DNS #946

Description

Describe the issue
When there isn't a NIC that has the setting "Register this connection's address in DNS" Exchange has a problem trying to figure out which NIC to use.

Additional context
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/troubleshoot/administration/exchange-restarts-frequently-stop-error

This is because of the .NET DNS class GetHostAddresses returns all the IP addresses that aren't event registered in DNS when running on the local machine. This can cause various issues and problems that aren't intended. As a workaround, we manually check for this setting on the NIC instead when working with a local instance. Therefore, Exchange requires a NIC to have this setting set otherwise, issues will occur.
