fix: Prevent broken dnsmasq entries for services without internal domain

Services registered via the service API have a domain but no internal
domain (that's a Wild Cloud instance concept). The dnsmasq generator
was producing broken entries like `local=//` and `address=//`.

Fix: skip internal domain entries when InternalDomain is empty, in
both config.go and config_modular.go. Also fix DNS entries to point
to Central's IP (where HAProxy listens) rather than the backend
address — all traffic flows through Central.

Added 3 tests covering: service-only, mixed services+instances.
