BUG FIX release: My Pi-Hole Setup v0.3

This release fixes a nasty bug in cron job execution of refresh_all.sh that could occur when the executing shell is actually /usr/bin/dash. This circumstance resulted in error message "Bad substitution", and the remainder of the script was not executed correctly.

This bug has now been fixed.

My Pi-Hole Setup v0.2

Enhancement from v0.1: the domain blocklist file list_of_blocklists.txt will now be imported automatically.
Four different import/synchronization modes are available. Please refer to README.md for details.

My Pi-Hole Setup v0.1

Initial release.
