Implement complete SPF/DKIM/DMARC validation and email deliverability testing

SPF/DKIM/DMARC Check:
- Complete implementation to validate email authentication records
- Checks SPF record for proper terminator and mechanisms
- Checks DKIM record with common selector detection
- Validates DMARC policy, alignment, and reporting
- Tries common DKIM selectors (default, k1, k2, google, selector1, selector2)
- Analyzes SPF/DKIM/DMARC strength (EXCELLENT/GOOD/PARTIAL/CRITICAL)
- Provides actionable recommendations for missing records
- Shows configuration examples for each authentication method

Email Deliverability Test:
- 5-step comprehensive deliverability testing
- Step 1: Validates SPF/DKIM/DMARC records exist
- Step 2: Tests SMTP connectivity to MX records
- Step 3: Checks server IP against major blacklists (Spamhaus, SpamCop, Barracuda, SORBS, CBL)
- Step 4: Validates reverse DNS (PTR record) configuration
- Step 5: Sends actual test email to verify end-to-end delivery
- Integrated blacklist detection with difficulty ratings
- Links to related diagnostic tools
- Provides troubleshooting guidance for failed tests

Key Features:
- User-friendly input prompts for domain and test recipient
- Color-coded output (success, warning, error)
- Comprehensive test summary with next steps
- Integration with existing email diagnostics tools
- Clear recommendations for each test result
- Cross-references to blacklist-check, email-diagnostics, and mail-log-analyzer

These tools complete the email infrastructure validation suite,
allowing administrators to comprehensively validate email authentication,
deliverability, and blacklist status from one integrated toolset.
