Document reasoning to block DNS to 127.0.0.1

This is not the right way to block domains that resolve to local addresses even if that was something you desired to do.

If you know the IP you want to block you should just block on the IP instead of chasing down every possible address even though addresses can change at any time.

If you want to block requests to 127.0.0.1 DNS is the wrong level to do it
