Support for DNS discovery for alertmanagers to find peers in a cluster

[samitpal]

It might be a good addition to add DNS discovery capability in multi-tenant alertmanager to discover peers. Right now there is a -cluster.peer flag which can be used multiple times but that has to be done statically. I tried with a dns host with multiple IP targets with -cluster.peer but it seems like the dns name does not get re-resolved when a host goes down.

Could you check if #2851 solve your issue, please?

@gotjosh Are you aware of this?

I think this is slightly different but can use similar mechanisms. I've added the capability to discover Alertmanagers from the ruler, this is about discovering other Alertmanagers from the Alertmanager itself.
