Xe Iaso b57508afcd fix(honeypot/naive): apply robot9001 style delays (#1632)
Currently the honeypotting feature has no limits or delays anywhere and
uses that to feed an internal greylist of IP networks. This can cause
issues such as in #1613 where Claude's crawler seemed to pick up on it
and egress data at over one megabit per second until the administrator
noticed and blocked the address range.

This takes a different approach by inspiration of how the classic #xkcd
IRC bot Robot9000 works. The first time a given IPv4 /24 or IPv6 /48
visits a honepot page, Anubis sleeps for 1 millisecond. The second it
sleeps for two milliseconds. The third is four milliseconds and so on.
The goal of this is to make the scraping inherently self-limiting such
that the scrapers go off in their own corner where they won't really
hurt anyone.

Let's see if this works out according to keikaku.
