    Revert "Pass network's dns_domain to dnsmasq conf"
    
    The dns_domain attribute of a network is intended for use
    by neutron when creating DNS records in an external DNS
    system such as Designate.
    
    By using the networks dns_domain, the configured search
    path on booted instances mismatches with the generated
    dns assignments for instance ports in the hosts file
    for dnsmasq which creates a mismatched forward/reverse
    lookup behaviour.
    
    This reverts commit 137a6d61053fb1cfb9a0a583b5a5c0f6253c75e6
    and commit 7fdd6adc7acf99e74fbe1c12606f8c867ae134ae.

Bug description:
  Related bug 1774710 and bug 1580588

  The neutron-dhcp-agent in OpenStack >= Queens makes use of the
  dns_domain value set on a network to configure the '--domain'
  parameter of the dnsmasq instance that supports it;  at the same time,
  neutron makes use of CONF.dns_domain when creating dns_assignments for
  ports - this results in a hosts file for the dnsmasq instance which
  uses CONF.dns_domain and a --domain parameter of network.dns_domain
  which do not match.

  This results in a search path on instances booted attached to the
  network which is inconsistent with the internal DNS entries that
  dnsmasq responds with:

    root at bionic-045546-2:~# host 192.168.21.222
    222.21.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer bionic-045546-2.jamespage.internal.
    root at bionic-045546-2:~# host bionic-045546-2
    bionic-045546-2.designate.local has address 192.168.21.222

  In the above example:

    CONF.dns_domain = jamespage.internal.
    network.dns_domain = designate.local.

  Based on previous discussion in bug 1580588 I think that the
  dns_domain value for a network was intented for use for external DNS
  integration such as that provided by Designate.

  The changed made under commit:

    https://opendev.org/openstack/neutron/commit/137a6d61053

  appear to break this assumption, producing somewhat inconsistent
  behaviour in the dnsmasq instance for the network.
