bearz314 3e409047e5 [fix] botdetection: return error, do not fail silently
Returns 429 (too many requests) when too many suspicious requests,
instead of returning to homepage with 302 (found). This is in line
with how other botdetections are handled. This partially reverts
b8c7c2c where this was changed without reason.

Without this commit, users in the blocked state, upon searching,
will see that their query disappear without further explanation.

""".. _botdetection.ip_limit:
Method ``ip_limit``
-------------------
The ``ip_limit`` method counts request from an IP in *sliding windows*. If
there are to many requests in a sliding window, the request is evaluated as a
bot request. This method requires a redis DB and needs a HTTP X-Forwarded-For_
header. To take privacy only the hash value of an IP is stored in the redis DB
and at least for a maximum of 10 minutes.
The :py:obj:`.link_token` method can be used to investigate whether a request is
*suspicious*. To activate the :py:obj:`.link_token` method in the
:py:obj:`.ip_limit` method add the following configuration:
.. code:: toml
[botdetection.ip_limit]
link_token = true
If the :py:obj:`.link_token` method is activated and a request is *suspicious*
the request rates are reduced:
- :py:obj:`BURST_MAX` -> :py:obj:`BURST_MAX_SUSPICIOUS`
- :py:obj:`LONG_MAX` -> :py:obj:`LONG_MAX_SUSPICIOUS`
To intercept bots that get their IPs from a range of IPs, there is a
:py:obj:`SUSPICIOUS_IP_WINDOW`. In this window the suspicious IPs are stored
for a longer time. IPs stored in this sliding window have a maximum of
:py:obj:`SUSPICIOUS_IP_MAX` accesses before they are blocked. As soon as the IP
makes a request that is not suspicious, the sliding window for this IP is
dropped.
