A adds an A record To a domain. The name should be the relative label for the record. Use `@` for the domain apex.

The address should be an ip address, either a string, or a numeric value obtained via [IP](https://docs.dnscontrol.org/~/revisions/T4Wre387kGCjR4Bh4mfN/language-reference/top-level-functions/ip).

Modifiers can be any number of [record modifiers](https://docs.dnscontrol.org/language-reference/record-modifiers) or JSON objects, which will be merged into the record's metadata.
