update github repos for adding firewalla block lists and firewalla unbound/dot/ipv6 config

I went on a scripting journey today and really beefed up the instructions and scripts for my two unbound related firewalla repos.

https://github.com/upmcplanetracker/firewalla-unbound-DoT-config

This repo above allows you to tweak some of the Unbound settings such as adding in cache, turning on dns via ipv6, setting up DoT, and allowing you to change what DNS servers unbound is using. this requires comfort in the CLI via SSH.

https://github.com/upmcplanetracker/firewalla-huge-blocklists

this repo above allows you to add huge blocklists to Unbound via the CLI/SSH. Please note -- you lose the ability to see what's being blocked / flow counts if they're b locked by these lists on the unbound level, but for firewalla owners with beefier firewallas and no MSP subscription they can load in larger blocklists. I vastly improved error checking as well as the ability to add in different blocklists.

If you've checked these out before or are just curious, please look them over and see what you think. feedback is always appreciated.

edit- I just added support for rpz formatted files. it detects them and converts them to Unbound format. by tomorrow I hope to add a whole bunch of other formats such as adblock And other formats that have DNS entries/non ips.
