Malin 8d4eaa1489 feat: add full Zonemaster stack with Docker and Spanish UI
- Clone all 5 Zonemaster component repos (LDNS, Engine, CLI, Backend, GUI)
- Dockerfile.backend: 8-stage multi-stage build LDNS→Engine→CLI→Backend
- Dockerfile.gui: Astro static build served via nginx
- docker-compose.yml: backend (internal) + frontend (port 5353)
- nginx.conf: root redirects to /es/, /api/ proxied to backend
- zonemaster-gui/config.ts: defaultLanguage set to 'es' (Spanish)

## ZONE07: SOA master is not an alias
### Test case identifier
**ZONE07** SOA master is not an alias
### Objective
Any NS type record should not be a CNAME. The SOA MNAME should in this
respect not be a CNAME.
Quote from 2.4 in [RFC 1912](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1912):
> Having NS records pointing to a CNAME is bad and may conflict badly
> with current BIND servers.
The SOA MNAME field is described in section 3.3.13 in
[RFC 1035](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1035).
The [RIPE-203](https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-203) recommendation
for the minimum value 2 days, but the negative caching is now the norm.
DNSCheck has a recommended value of between 300 seconds (5 minutes) and
86400 seconds (1 day).
### Inputs
The domain name to be tested.
### Ordered description of steps to be taken to execute the test case
1. Retrieve the SOA record from a delegated name server for the domain.
2. If the answer from step 1 is not authoritative, iterate step 1 until there is an authoritative answer.
3. Retrieve the SOA MNAME value from the SOA record.
4. Query for A and AAAA records for the host from MNAME.
5. If the answer to the query is a CNAME, this test case fails.
### Outcome(s)
If the SOA MNAME field is pointing to a CNAME, this test case fails.
### Special procedural requirements
None.
### Intercase dependencies
None.
