Adding reverse DNS record may be a time consuming task, especially

record when a forward record is created could speed up the process.
host-add command already has this possibility.
This patch takes advantage of the new per-type API and adds new
options for A/AAAA record types: --a-create-reverse and
--aaaa-create-reverse. These commands can be used to automatically
create reverse records for new A/AAAA addresses (both forward
and reverse zones need to be managed by FreeIPA server):
ipa dnsrecord-add example.com foo --a-rec=10.0.0.1 --a-create-reverse
This command would add a new A record to record foo in zone
example.com and a PTR record to appropriate reverse zone for
IP address 10.0.0.1 (for example PTR record 1 in zone
0.0.10.in-addr.arpa. pointing to foo.example.com.).
Few modification were done to new DNS API to support this feature:
- Refactor --ip-address option handling from host-add and place it
to dns.py to be used by both modules
- Add support for "extra" per-type options
- Hide DNS record part options in dnsrecord_find command as they
have no effect for this command

Can the options -a-create-reverse and -aaaa-create-reverse be combined?
I was able to create an IPv4 addr using -aaaa-create-reverse:
# ipa dnsrecord-add example.com baz --a-rec=192.168.166.115
--aaaa-create-reverse
Record name: baz
A record: 192.168.166.115
Otherwise the patch seems fine.
