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 ``link_token``
---------------------
The ``link_token`` method evaluates a request as :py:obj:`suspicious
<is_suspicious>` if the URL ``/client<token>.css`` is not requested by the
client. By adding a random component (the token) in the URL a bot can not send
a ping by request a static URL.
.. note::
This method requires a redis DB and needs a HTTP X-Forwarded-For_ header.
To get in use of this method a flask URL route needs to be added:
.. code:: python
@app.route('/client<token>.css', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def client_token(token=None):
link_token.ping(request, token)
return Response('', mimetype='text/css')
And in the HTML template from flask a stylesheet link is needed (the value of
``link_token`` comes from :py:obj:`get_token`):
.. code:: html
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="{{ url_for('client_token', token=link_token) }}"
type="text/css" />
.. _X-Forwarded-For:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-For
