Cloudflare Not Allowing "*" Hostname Entry in Dynamic DNS

Description

Cloudflare allows wildcard A records and the pfSense DDNS page has a wildcard checkbox (since 2.3?), but it will throw an "invalid hostname" error if you provide a "*". This can be circumvented with a direct edit on the config xml, but it's certainly not ideal.

My comments about Route53 on #9053 likely also apply to Cloudflare here. Assuming so, the solution would differ slightly because Cloudflare is a "split domain" type.

- hide wildcard and MX checkboxes since neither are used by the Cloudflare code
- update the call to is_domain() to have a truthy second argument, allowing wildcards for cloudflare and cloudflare-v6

Unlike the recent related Route53 and Linode edits, i have not tested this change.

Testing in a current 2.4.5 snapshot. I don't have a Cloudflare account to see if the update happens, but the pfSense UI does now allow wildcard hostnames to be submitted and saved.

That is likely a good enough test, but I'll hold this open for a bit yet in case someone can do a functional test against an active CloudFlare account.

Thanks for testing!
