Rule files, and bans for a clear sign of attack (closes #24)
Every *.rules file in SWWAF_RULES_DIR not named with a leading dot is
read at start, and again 2 seconds after the directory's last change.
Each request is checked against the rules after the rate limits: log
notes a match, block refuses with 403, ban refuses and bans the netblock
for SWWAF_ATTACK_BAN_DURATION, made permanent by its next request or
attack. path, query and uri are matched as the request line sent them;
header:Host and header:Transfer-Encoding are refused. Bans gain a cause.
The image ships 00-default.rules.

Judgement call: a header sent twice is matched with its values joined
by ", ".
Judgement call: SWWAF_MAX_BAN_DURATION does not cap a ban for an attack.
Not in this unit: offences for rule matches, with the error burst.

Model: opus-5-5
