[master] Clean up DDNS description
Remove the text about use-host-decl-names within DDNS.
This appears to have been correct when describing the
ad-hoc DDNS option but not the interim or standard
options. In the future we may choose to enhance
the latter two but for now we shouldn't claim we do
things we don't.
