Limit each client's requests to the image routes (closes #236)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

The new setting image_requests_per_minute (PIXA_IMAGE_REQUESTS_PER_MINUTE),
default 600, caps the GET and HEAD requests one client sends to /v1/image/
and /v1/e/ per minute; the next is answered 429 with Retry-After and the
image routes' JSON error body. It uses the login limit's RateLimit
middleware, so clients are told apart the same way, behind the CORS
middleware, so a preflight is not counted. 0 turns it off, as
script/loadtest does; a negative or non-integer value stops startup.

TestEnvironmentSetsEveryKey gains the new variable, under the standing
approval in #64. To stay within the
linters' limits, the sentry_dsn check moves unchanged into
validateSentryDSN, and the cache_max_bytes explicit flag is set in one
line.
