* feat: first implementation of honeypot logic
This is a bit of an experiment, stick with me.
The core idea here is that badly written crawlers are that: badly
written. They look for anything that contains `<a href="whatever" />`
tags and will blindly use those values to recurse. This takes advantage
of that by hiding a link in a `<script>` tag like this:
```html
<script type="ignore"><a href="/bots-only">Don't click</a></script>
```
Browsers will ignore it because they have no handler for the "ignore"
script type.
This current draft is very unoptimized (it takes like 7 seconds to
generate a page on my tower), however switching spintax libraries will
make this much faster.
The hope is to make this pluggable with WebAssembly such that we force
administrators to choose a storage method. First we crawl before we
walk.
The AI involvement in this commit is limited to the spintax in
affirmations.txt, spintext.txt, and titles.txt. This generates a bunch
of "pseudoprofound bullshit" like the following:
> This Restoration to Balance & Alignment
>
> There's a moment when creators are being called to realize that the work
> can't be reduced to results, but about energy. We don't innovate products
> by pushing harder, we do it by holding the vision. Because momentum can't
> be forced, it unfolds over time when culture are moving in the same
> direction. We're being invited into a paradigm shift in how we think
> about innovation. [...]
This is intended to "look" like normal article text. As this is a first
draft, this sucks and will be improved upon.

* feat(lib): use new challenge creation flow
Previously Anubis constructed challenge strings from request metadata.
This was a good idea in spirit, but has turned out to be a very bad idea
in practice. This new flow reuses the Store facility to dynamically
create challenge values with completely random data.
This is a fairly big rewrite of how Anubis processes challenges. Right
now it defaults to using the in-memory storage backend, but on-disk
(boltdb) and valkey-based adaptors will come soon.

* perf: replace cidranger with bart for IP range checking
- Replace cidranger.Ranger with bart.Lite in RemoteAddrChecker
- Use netip.ParsePrefix instead of net.ParseCIDR for modern IP handling
- Improve performance: 3-20x faster lookups with zero heap allocations
- Update imports to use github.com/gaissmai/bart and net/netip
- Remove cidranger dependency from go.mod
Benchmark results:
- IPv4 lookups: 4x faster (15.58ns vs 63.25ns, 0 vs 2 allocs)
- IPv6 lookups: 3x faster (26.51ns vs 76.96ns, 0 vs 2 allocs)
- Insertions: 20x faster (976ns vs 19,191ns)
- Large tables: 14x faster (5.2ns vs 74.85ns)

The hash is used for JWT cookie validation and error code generation.

Gives us many nice things like:
* Windows support for yeet (modulo TecharoHQ/yeet#29)
* Removes the dependency on /bin/sh or /bin/bash thanks to
mvdan.cc/sh/v3
* Checksum-compliant reproducible builds by default
Signed-off-by: Xe Iaso <me@xeiaso.net>
This means that yeet's version will be managed by `go.mod` and
auto-bumped with dependabot. This removes human error from the equation
and ensures that Anubis is always built with the newest version of yeet.
This also makes it trivial to make your own local packages for testing:
```text
go tool yeet
```

* feat(lib/policy): add support for CEL checkers
This adds the ability for administrators to use Common Expression
Language[0] (CEL) for more advanced check logic than Anubis previously
offered.
These can be as simple as:
```yaml
- name: allow-api-routes
action: ALLOW
expression:
and:
- '!(method == "HEAD" || method == "GET")'
- path.startsWith("/api/")
```
or get as complicated as:
```yaml
- name: allow-git-clients
action: ALLOW
expression:
and:
- userAgent.startsWith("git/") || userAgent.contains("libgit") || userAgent.startsWith("go-git") || userAgent.startsWith("JGit/") || userAgent.startsWith("JGit-")
- >
"Git-Protocol" in headers && headers["Git-Protocol"] == "version=2"
```
Internally these are compiled and evaluated with cel-go[1]. This also
leaves room for extensibility should that be desired in the future. This
will intersect with #338 and eventually intersect with TLS fingerprints
as in #337.
