Trap paths, and the error burst banning a client refused too often (closes #115)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

SWWAF_TRAP_PATHS: a request whose path, as a path rule sees it, is one
of them is a clear sign of attack, banned as a ban rule's match is; the
ban's notes give its trap_path. Checked after the rate limits, before the
rule files.

SWWAF_ERROR_BURST_THRESHOLD (default 30, or off): more refusals in a
minute after a block or ban rule or a trap path, or for a missing or
wrong token, ban the client as a broken limit does. Counted in
clients.json's minute_refusals; limit_hit error_burst, notes kind
refusals.

A token refusal is now the offence token_refused, and
smallwebwaf_offences_total counts every kind the history does.

Judgement call: the threshold is not lowered by a client's limit percentage.
