Suggest that folks enable DMARC reporting

SNM supports DMARC reporting, but it's disabled by default. For email
greybeards, that's fine, but I think it would be useful to teach email newbies (as I was a few
months ago) that this is something you should seriously consider
enabling.

I opted to put this in a new "Advanced Configurations" section that
points experienced mailserver admins to our howto guides, and newbies to
a couple of important things.

Advanced Configurations
=======================
Congratulations on completing the `Setup Guide <setup-guide.html>`_!
If you're an experienced mailserver admin, then you probably know what you want
to do next. Our How-to guides (accessible in the navigation sidebar)
might help you accomplish your goals. If not, consider contributing a guide!
If this is your first mailserver, consider the following:
- Set up `backups <backup-guide.html>`_.
- Enable `DMARC reporting <options.html#mailserver-dmarcreporting>`_ to be a
good citizen in the mail ecosystem.
