Take in an admin's edits of the state files while running (closes #68)
check / check (push) Successful in 4m49s

smallwebwaf watches SWWAF_STATE_DIR with fsnotify and takes in a saved
edit of a state file in place of what it held. It tells its own writes
from an admin's by the SHA-256 of what it last read or wrote; each write
first takes in an edit made since. An edit that does not parse is
renamed to <name>.bad at the file's next write. Every ban on a netblock
is checked, and the next ban is worked out from the one that ended
last. Two metrics count the edits taken in and set aside. README.md
says how to add and lift a ban.

Judgement call: a broken edit is set aside at the next write, since an
editor's file can be read half written.
