[mod] limiter: block requests from PetalBot

Browse source 
Block requests from PetalBlock.  Normally robots.txt is enough to stop
PetalBlock from making requests [1].  However, if SearXNG is offered below a
path (example.org/search), then the robots.txt is not available in the root
paths of the domain / subdomain.
