**What does this PR aim to accomplish?:**
Add support for Gentoo OS to Pi-hole, see [this feature request](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/add-gentoo-as-a-supported-os/2011).
**How does this PR accomplish the above?:**
Originally described [here](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/add-gentoo-as-a-supported-os/2011/7?u=graf_euler).
> 1. Added a gentoo section to the distro_check() function to fill the global variables accordingly.
> 2. As gentoo uses OpenRC init system as default, I added checks if the ‘service’-command is available before it is used (this also affects the pihole executable).
> 3. Added a lighttpd.conf.gentoo
> 4. For gentoo, the install-script does not install the dependencies! The script outputs the missing packages and requests the user to install them. This allows the user to review the use flags of the packages and review the comments of portage, since some packages require some further actions after installing them.
**What documentation changes (if any) are needed to support this PR?:**
Add Gentoo to supported OS
