What does this PR aim to accomplish?:

Add a dns.cache.rrtype option to customize which types of DNS records get cached by PiHole. This dnsmasq option has been hardcoded so far.

How does this PR accomplish the above?:

New Setting in the WebGUI where the option can be changed. By default all record types get cached.

Just for the records: Can you maybe explain a little for why you added this, i.e., which records you'd like to see not being cached?

My PiHole forwards all queries to a dnscrypt-proxy which handles the cache. But since I use DNSSEC validation on the PiHole I need a minimum cache of 150. With this option I can limit only DNSSEC relevant records to be cached on the PiHole and the rest will be cached on dnscrypt-proxy. If that makes sense?
