emphasize a few things about authz_host
- "domain name" is not a good contrast for hostname unqualified, use "partial" as used earlier in the doc
- mention that DNS resolution [of the require line arguments] is done at runtime not startup. This may be
obvious to developers when you see it uses an ap_expr but the question was specifically asked on IRC.
