Add examples to the dig man page
The goal here is to help new or infrequent users figure out the most basic ways to use dig. Notes on the choice of examples: * I wrote examples that users can copy and paste exactly as is, without having to come up with an appropriate IP address or domain name to use. The one exception is the `dig -x` example which uses an IP from the example range. * `dig +noall +answer` here is because learning about `+noall +answer` was lifechanging for me when I learned about it, I've heard from others that they find it helpful too, and it's pretty hard to infer from the man page as is that it might be useful * I thought about adding `+trace` but left it out because 5 examples was already starting to feel like a lot.

Examples

Only display the IP address(es) for example.com::

Query the nameserver f.gtld-servers.net for example.com::

Look up the hostname for an IP with reverse DNS::
