check / check (push) Waiting to run
Name request log actions so they say what they mean (closes #229)
Rename too_large, rate_limited, rule_blocked and denied, and split banned
into temporarily_banned and permanently_banned by whether the ban runs out.
A request that makes a ban permanent gets permanently_banned. A ban the
request itself makes gets the value for that ban, and in observe mode
would_action names the ban enforce mode would have made.

The offence kind rule_blocked follows, as a metric label and a key in
clients.json.
