sneak 21f7bf6f23 SWW_APPS: an app's Core Rule Set fixes apply only to the hostnames that serve it (closes #220)
check / check (push) Failing after 1m34s
Details 
gitea's fixes (its parameters, its cookies and gitea.conf) now apply
only to a hostname SWW_APPS lists gitea for, or to every hostname while
it is unset. Each app's fixes are one .conf file, whose first rule skips
the rest unless Inspect sets tx.app_<name>, and one entry in apps.

A hostname in SWW_APPS that is not a DNS name, such as *.example.com,
stops the start. Unset, SWW_APPS is logged at start as null; set
empty, as "".

The byte limits count body bytes: the app's response bodies, the visitors'
request bodies, or both, as `SWW_BYTES_COUNT` says. Headers are never counted.
What the visitor sent over a WebSocket counts as request bytes, and what the app
sent as response bytes. The bytes counted for a request and its response are
added to the client's total once the response has ended (see step 15). So the
request that takes a client past a limit is passed on whole, and the ban refuses
the client's requests from then on. By default there is no minute limit, so a
client can download in a burst at full speed. The hour limit defaults to 50 GiB
and the day limit to 100 GiB. They allow several downloads of a few GiB each.

then one or more apps separated by commas, for example

thresholds per client are:
Each scope has four thresholds: the most requests and the most bytes counted in
a minute and in an hour. Requests are counts, bytes are sizes. Each is `off` by
default. The four thresholds per client are:
- `SWW_ANOMALY_CLIENT_REQUESTS_PER_MINUTE`;
- `SWW_ANOMALY_CLIENT_REQUESTS_PER_HOUR`;
