Add an option to auto-update the upstreams list

[ameshkov]

Apparently, this feature would be useful to the users from China since they use huge lists of upstream servers (upstream_dns_file) and would like to keep them up-to-date: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/discussions/4305

The simple solution would be to allow specifying URLs in upstream_dns_file:

upstream_dns_file: "https://example.org/upstreams.txt"

We'll also need to somehow specify the refresh time. Could be even encoded into the URL itself (refresh=5s; https://example.org/upstreams.txt).

Other ideas are welcome.

I am a bit reluctant to implement this functionality right now, let's see if it gets upvoted.

There is already the list of public servers which frequently updated. Would be great to have support it.

I think this would be a very very useful feature. Just like my own project adguardhome-upstream here, you can see that we need to handle systemd/crontab, systemd/init differently in order to work properly on different operating systems. This will bring a lot of trouble to many users who do not have enough technical skills, and AdGuardHome may crash at any time if it is not configured properly.

And on the other hand, maybe you can see in my another project chn-domains-list, how frequently these list rules are updated, almost every day. All in all, if we have an option to auto-update the upstreams list, boom, problems gone.

For specifying the refresh time, I think encoding into the URL is a good option, as you already mentioned. But I think it is necessary to define some special behaviors, such as refresh=0; for never update, and no refresh is specified to take the default strategy and what the default strategy should be...and so on. My personal opinion is that the default behavior can be more than one day and less than seven days, on the one hand, this will not cause abuse for the rule hosting address, on the other hand, this frequency is appropriate for some popular rule lists like chn-domains-list mentioned above.

Actually I can quite understand why you are a little reluctant to implement this feature, it is maybe somewhat complicated and we already have a solution like upstream_dns_file right? As an AdGuardHome user, I support any decision you make, yes or no.

As a user from China, I really need such a function.
