What does this PR aim to accomplish?:
This PR aims to lay out configuration steps for setting up VLANs for Pi-hole. Targeting users with more advanced networking configurations, this guide goes over adding additional network interfaces to the raspberry pi and then enabling those interfaces in Pi-hole.

Though VLAN configurations are supported by Pi-hole (adding VLANs adds additional network interfaces which Pi-hole can see), they are not documented anywhere. These configurations allow a single Pi-hole instance to serve multiple networks routed on the same interface, rather than maintaining a dedicated device for each individual network.

Related Issue: #1040

How does this PR accomplish the above?:
The documentation guides through the process configuring Pi-hole to work with VLANs on Debian-based systems, specifically Raspberry Pis, but any Debian machine should be compatible. It includes step-by-step instructions, configuration file examples, and necessary commands. The guide will help users set up network interfaces, configure VLANs, and adjust Pi-hole settings for operation across multiple VLANs.
