servewaf answers rproxy's question about each request and takes its report (closes #170)
check / check (push) Successful in 13m11s

`smallwebwaf servewaf` runs today's checks on the visitor's request each
question carries, answers rproxy, and passes nothing to an app. rproxy reports
every request servewaf answered. A report counts an allowed request's bytes and
writes servewaf's second log line. The table holds a copy of what a report
needs, never the request, so a report cannot reach a request being handled.

Judgement call: a question's body is read before any check; over 64 KiB gets 400.
Judgement call: a report's bytes and durations have ceilings, so they cannot overflow.
Judgement call: a `close` disposition for SWWAF_BAN_RESPONSE=close.

## `servewaf`
`smallwebwaf servewaf` uses every setting here but these, which it ignores:
- `SWWAF_UPSTREAM_URL` and `SWWAF_TRUSTED_PROXIES`;
- the five timeouts under "Size and time limits";
- `SWWAF_CLIENT_REQUEST_HEADER_MAX_BYTES`, `SWWAF_REQUEST_MAX_BYTES` and
`SWWAF_RESPONSE_MAX_BYTES`.
An invalid value of one of these still stops the start, and the line of settings
at start still shows them.
`SWWAF_ADD_LOOKUP_HEADERS` puts the headers on the answer to `rproxy`, not on a
request to an app. `SWWAF_WAF_BODY_LIMIT` has an effect up to 64 KiB less one
byte, whatever its value. A question carries no more of a body than 64 KiB (see
"`servewaf`" in [`SPEC.md`](../SPEC.md)).
