Lower the default request and byte limits (closes #193)
check / check (push) Successful in 3m12s

New defaults, as sneak approved: 120 requests a minute, 1,500 an hour and 6,000 a day; bytes off a minute, 50G an hour and 100G a day. The README, `SPEC.md`, `docs/settings.md` and `docs/gitea.md` give the new figures and reasoning, and point Actions runners and shared addresses at `SWWAF_RATE_LIMIT_EXEMPT_NETS`. The README examples now hold against the new defaults.

An Actions runner that is not exempted makes more requests an hour than the new limit and will be banned.
