Shortcuts for changing to specific server/auto/off #19

Would be a great feature so that it can be used alongside other apps like Tasker to automate when to change servers. Ex. While on specific apps that have ads.

This will either allow all apps to modify the secure dns setting which is bad for security, or will require writing an allow-list system to filter which apps are allowed which is a lot of work for little return. Besides, Tasker can already access any secure setting with appropriate permissions, just set private_dns_mode to off, opportunistic (Auto), or hostname and private_dns_specifier to the server's hostname (link).
