Scaffold PowerDNS via Docker Compose

powerdns_docker

Takes inspiration from the Running PowerDNS in the local environment with PowerDNS-Admin guide by @uhernfr.

Updates compose syntax, adds error handling, moves creds to env vars, swaps out interlegis/powerdns for pschiffe/pdns-mysql -- former is deprecated.
