Allow subdomains of dns_domain and fix kubelet restarts

* Add a var for ndots (default 5) and put it hosts' /etc/resolv.conf.
* Poke kube dns container image to v1.7
* In order to apply changes to kubelet, notify it to
be restarted on changes made to /etc/resolv.conf. Ignore errors as the kubelet
may yet to be present up to the moment of the notification being processed.
* Remove unnecessary kubelet restart for master role as the node role ensures
it is up and running. Notify master static pods waiters for apiserver,
scheduler, controller-manager instead.
