Path rules and trap paths match the path decoded once too (closes #85)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

A path rule matched only the path as the client sent it, so /%2eenv got
past the default env-file rule while an app that decodes the path
serves /.env. A path rule now matches the path as sent or decoded once,
as a uri rule already did, and so does a path in SWWAF_TRAP_PATHS:
/%77p-login.php matches /wp-login.php. The query is cut off before the
path is decoded, and the path is decoded only once, so /%252eenv is not
/.env. A ban's notes keep the path as sent. SPEC.md and README.md say
so.
