Markus Heiser 823c490c84 [mod] limiter: block requests from PetalBot
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.

"""Some bot protection / rate limitation
To monitor rate limits and protect privacy the IP addresses are getting stored
with a hash so the limiter plugin knows who to block. A redis database is
needed to store the hash values.
Enable the plugin in ``settings.yml``:
- ``server.limiter: true``
- ``redis.url: ...`` check the value, see :ref:`settings redis`
