bind: Add option to block ads
This PR add DNS-based ad blocking, based on the instructions at https://charlieharvey.org.uk/page/adblocking_with_bind_apache.
When enabled, it fetches a list of ad servers from pgl.yoyo.org. Later we may want to offer several lists that the user can choose from, and allow the list to be download over Tor.

Instead of using a single list, how about using a list aggregated from a lot of sources, like in this Github repo. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
The list at pgl.yoyo.org has 2324 entries while the aggregated one has close to 40,000 entries. See the sample list here. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts

Adblock2Privoxy can perform element blocking with CSS using standard Adblock lists through Privoxy and Apache and has a .deb package available. Not sure yet how to integrate it, though.
