📄 Description

Clean the default list of DNSBLs used by the DNSBL checks. The existing list os old and unmaintained, and lists many dead or unmaintained DNSBLs.

I shrunk the list to a short list of well-known, widely used DNSBLs that respect proper listing policies, which means that when Modoboa signals a user that an ipaddress is listed, the user should be able to find out what went wrong, and how to resolve that.

This ensures that users don't get false positives about DNSBL checks because unmaintained lists go dark or get hijacked, and they can act when an actual listing of their server occurs.

Most of this was discussed earlier in #1496.
