Bot filter coming soon

To deter bots pegging the database CPU to 100%, a bot testing filter to be added to the website. This should not affect newsfeeds etc. Anubis seems light-weight - it is already in use within the FreeBSD Project. This notice is just a heads up in case you see something odd. This notice will be updated after Anubis is installed.

devel/protobuf-c: fix symbol versioning support detection

This is a real bug and it stems from protobuf-c ABI changes that
removed symbol versioning incorrectly and unexpectedly when packages
started getting built with more recent llvm (specifically lld).  So
older packages of protobuf-c with the same PKGNAME are different
than packages built with newer llvm.  This explains run-time linker
problems like the one reported in this bug - even when users
innocently just install some package updates.  This can cause project
package builders to generate packages that are different without
changing PKGNAME.

The root cause for this issue with protobuf-c is that the configure
test for symbol versioning support broke after recent lld changes
that are stricter about undefined symbols.
