Pointing your own domain at mastodon.social #897

Description

First off - thank you so much! Impressive work.

I'd like to use mastodon.social to host my toots, but I'd also like to use my own domain (to maintain ownership/portability of my name/network). I could run my own instance, but that requires a nontrivial amount of administration time.

With email, many providers will let me point my MX records at them and will handle mail for me. I'd love to have the same feature for mastodon via a CNAME record.

This would not work with shared hosts like heroku (they use the domain to figure out which app to route requests to), but could otherwise be a relatively manageable change.

Would a PR to implement this be welcome?
