Don't use public gateway for DNS lookups "automatic mode" is off #916

I'd like IPFS companion to use a local gateway without exposing a local IPFS API endpoint. Unfortunately, if I do this, companion will direct all dnslink queries to the public gateway because my local IPFS node "has no peers".

If I configure companion to use a specific IPFS gateway, I expect it to always use that gateway.

Thanks @Stebalien -- we'll bring this up in our next weekly triage session.

SGTM, switching to gateway for dnslink lookups should work: http://localhost:8080/api/v0/dns/docs.ipfs.io?cid-base=base32
