Enable DNS forwarding loop detection

Browse Source 
Found below by accident:
```
pi@ph5:~ $ man dnsmasq
[..]
       --dns-loop-detect
              Enable code to detect DNS forwarding loops; ie the  situa‐
              tion  where  a  query  sent  to one of the upstream server
              eventually returns as a new query to the dnsmasq instance.
              The  process  works  by generating TXT queries of the form
              <hex>.test and sending them to each upstream  server.  The
              hex is a UID which encodes the instance of dnsmasq sending
              the query and the upstream server to which it was sent. If
              the  query  returns  to the server which sent it, then the
              upstream server through which it was sent is disabled  and
              this  event  is  logged.  Each  time  the  set of upstream
              servers changes, the test is re-run on all  of  them,  in‐
              cluding ones which were previously disabled.
```
Seems to work just fine if I point my router 10.0.0.1 back to Pi-hole in the WAN DNS settings:
```
pi@ph5:~ $ grep server= -R /etc/dnsmasq.*
/etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf:server=9.9.9.10
/etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf:server=149.112.112.10
/etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf:server=10.0.0.1
/etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf:rev-server=10.0.0.0/24,10.0.0.2
/etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf:server=/dehakkelaar.nl/10.0.0.2
/etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf:server=/use-application-dns.net/
```
```
pi@ph5:~ $ sudo tee /etc/dnsmasq.d/99-my-settings.conf <<< $'dns-loop-detect'
dns-loop-detect
```
```
pi@ph5:~ $ pihole restartdns
  [✓] Restarting DNS server
```
```
pi@ph5:~ $ tail -F /var/log/pihole.log
