Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Geoip DB is apparently never updated unless downloaded manually through ui/firewall/alias#geoip

I didn't see any geoip auto update in opnsense github code but correct me if I'm wrong

Describe the solution you like

Add a cron entry at ui/cron to allow geoip DB automated updates

Describe alternatives you considered

Manual download

Additional context

From Maxmind site, the DBs are updated twice weekly, every Tuesday and Friday. https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geolite2-free-geolocation-data

When using geoip blocking, it's good practice to schedule at least a monthly geoip update.

it's updated every day, has a lifetime (TTL) of a bit under 86400 seconds.
