check / check (push) Waiting to run
servewaf: each decision heuristic is its own module (closes #195)
Each check servewaf runs on a request is a type in its own file behind
one interface, heuristic, and is registered in one of four ordered lists
in heuristics.go. Order and behaviour are unchanged.

Every refusal now logs heuristic, the name of the heuristic that made
it, and heuristic_figures, the figures it acted on. A ban by
refusal_limit or byte_limits after the answer logs after_answer_heuristic
and after_answer_heuristic_figures instead, so a line can name both. All
four are in docs/request-log.md, and SPEC.md names each heuristic at its
step.
