controller: use a pointer receiver on patchDNSRecords - #63

Conversation
All other ExternalDNSReconciler methods use a pointer receiver; patchDNSRecords was the lone value-receiver outlier. Today benign — the embedded client.Client survives the copy — but the next field added to the struct (a cache, a counter, an unexported mutex) would silently lose its mutations through this path.
