Expose instance DNS information

This idea was imported from Canny. Originally created by: Enkel Prifti. The current owner is: Unassigned.

Packet seems to already have automation in place for setting up A,AAAA, and PTR records for every instance but this isn't exposed to customers. We should expose this info in the /devices/ID API endpoint, the metadata service, and on the customer portal. Currently we are using packethost.net as the domain so it will need to be adjusted for the Equinix Metal rebranding. NOTE: There also seems to be a bug where we are creating multiple A and AAAA records for certain instances
