Support using MX records for DNS discovery (#10099)

It's currently possible to use blackbox_exporter to probe MX records
themselves. However it's not possible to do an end-to-end test, like is
possible with SRV records. This makes it possible to use MX records as a
source of hostnames in the same way as SRV records.
