changing the origin folder

Originally, I had this set to /run/shm (in RAM) but ran into errors
when the list reached 900,000 entries.
Then I moved it to /tmp.
Finally, I decided to just put the files in the pihole dir so they are
available after reboots.  This will help with only downloading the
lists when absolutely needed--respecting the bandwidth of the people
serving the lists.

It is also possible to add addn-hosts=/path/to/hosts.conf within the
dnsmasq.conf file if you don't want to use hosts.  For simplicity and
speed, I just use the regular hosts file.
