feat: disable httpChallenge when DNS challenge is configured

As documented in the README's "Configuring wildcard SSL using DNS"
section, the necessary pieces for DNS-01 ACME challenges to work are
already baked into Traefik's recipe, though they were originally
considered for provisioning wildcard certificates. Furthermore, in
environments where the server is not exposed to the internet, the
default HTTP-01 challenge mechanism doesn't work, so taking advantage
of this alternative method makes complete sense.

This change causes ACME validations to be done always using DNS when
LETS_ENCRYPT_DNS_CHALLENGE_ENABLED is active. Without it, for standard
certificate requests Traefik uses the HTTP-01 challenge method, which
doesn't work in servers behind a firewall.

We should amend the related section in the
[operators handbook](https://docs.coopcloud.tech/operators/handbook/#running-an-offline-coop-cloud-server)
to make a not about the possibility of using DNS challenges in those
scenarios as well.
