Zack Zatkin-Gold dd537b3382 Fix telegraf example arguments (#2788)
Many of the examples provided within documentation are using a single
dash for the command line arguments, but the telegraf executable
explicitly has two dashes.

There are also some inconsistencies with the ordering of the command
line argument examples.  I've ordered them so that the examples will
show: config, config-directory, input-filter, test

# DNS Query Input Plugin
The DNS plugin gathers dns query times in miliseconds - like [Dig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dig_\(command\))
### Configuration:
```
# Sample Config:
[[inputs.dns_query]]
## servers to query
servers = ["8.8.8.8"] # required
## Domains or subdomains to query. "." (root) is default
domains = ["."] # optional
## Query record type. Posible values: A, AAAA, ANY, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SOA, SPF, SRV, TXT. Default is "NS"
record_type = "A" # optional
## Dns server port. 53 is default
port = 53 # optional
## Query timeout in seconds. Default is 2 seconds
timeout = 2 # optional
```
For querying more than one record type make:
```
[[inputs.dns_query]]
domains = ["mjasion.pl"]
servers = ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]
record_type = "A"
[[inputs.dns_query]]
domains = ["mjasion.pl"]
servers = ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"]
record_type = "MX"
```
### Tags:
- server
- domain
- record_type
### Example output:
```
./telegraf --config telegraf.conf --input-filter dns_query --test
> dns_query,domain=mjasion.pl,record_type=A,server=8.8.8.8 query_time_ms=67.189842 1456082743585760680
```
