generic cdn domains

See original GitHub issue

Lists that include generic cdn domains, like d12ulf131zb0yj.cloudfront.net, should receive a deduction in FilScore.

The problem is that scripted subdomains as:

*daq0d0aotgq0f*.cloudfront.net
...

*pl109299*.puhtml.com
*pl5411*.bntags.com

…are created for the very purpose of avoiding being blacklisted. The owners of cloudfront, puhtml & bntags have a script ready to put new subdomains online once the available old onews get too much blacklisting.

A solution is to list all the available domains, like this filterlist does with admob:

admob.com
admob.de
admob.biz
admob.co.uk
...

BTW there are worst cases like:

a0675c1160de6c6.com
476vi285.stream
d50285bff60edbb406.com

…where the whole domain is the result of a scripted registration.
