Markus Heiser 1ec325adcc [mod] limiter -> botdetection: modularization and documentation
In order to be able to meet the outstanding requirements, the implementation is
modularized and supplemented with documentation.

This patch does not contain functional change, except it fixes issue #2455

----

Aktivate limiter in the settings.yml and simulate a bot request by::

    curl -H 'Accept-Language: de-DE,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3' \
         -H 'Accept: text/html'
         -H 'User-Agent: xyz' \
         -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' \
         'http://127.0.0.1:8888/search?q=foo'

In the LOG:

    DEBUG   searx.botdetection.link_token : missing ping for this request: .....

Since ``BURST_MAX_SUSPICIOUS = 2`` you can repeat the query above two time
before you get a "Too Many Requests" response.

"""
Method ``ip_limit``
-------------------
The ``ip_limit`` method counts request from an IP in *sliding windows*. If
there are to many requests in a sliding window, the request is evaluated as a
bot request. This method requires a redis DB and needs a HTTP X-Forwarded-For_
header. To take privacy only the hash value of an IP is stored in the redis DB
and at least for a maximum of 10 minutes.
The :py:obj:`link_token` method is used to investigate whether a request is
*suspicious*. If the :py:obj:`link_token` method is activated and a request is
*suspicious* the request rates are reduced:
- :py:obj:`BURST_MAX` -> :py:obj:`BURST_MAX_SUSPICIOUS`
- :py:obj:`LONG_MAX` -> :py:obj:`LONG_MAX_SUSPICIOUS`
.. _X-Forwarded-For:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For
