Description

In the Dogfood deployment we've got a custom DNS name, not the rack-provided one. I suspect many customers will want to be able to do this. I'm figuring we could add a "dns_alias" property on the Silo that can be set to any DNS name you want.

We will also need to update the TLS SNI implementation in #3164 to choose the right TLS certificate for the DNS name we were given.

Research direction

Start with the Silo model and the TLS SNI implementation referenced in #3164. Trace how a custom DNS name could be stored and how the matching certificate would be selected. Done means a Silo can accept a dns_alias and TLS SNI selects the corresponding certificate for that name.
