dashboard and status API list a port's domains apart from its hostnames (closes #245)

A port entry in the state saves the apex domains that resolve to its
address with its hostnames. The dashboard's Ports table now has a
Domains column next to Hostnames, and a port entry in /api/v1/status
has a `domains` list, with `hostnames` no longer holding a domain. A
name is taken as a domain when it has a domain entry, as the dashboard
and API already tell a domain's own records from a hostname's. Both
read the split from one function, buildPorts. The state file is
unchanged; README says its port `hostnames` include domains.
