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.

Description:
dnsdist is a highly DNS-, DoS- and abuse-aware loadbalancer. Its goal in life is to route traffic to the best server, delivering top performance to legitimate users while shunting or blocking abusive traffic. dnsdist is dynamic, its configuration language is Lua and it can be can be changed at runtime, and its statistics can be queried from a console-like interface or an HTTP API. dnsdist is used to protect and optimize the DNS traffic of hundreds of millions of internet subscribers. * IPv4, UDP/TCP * IPv6, UDP/TCP, 100% compliant * Remotely pollable statistics for real time graphing * High performance * SNMP statistics bridge (read only) * Dynamically route queries to backend servers * Advanced anti-spoofing measures * Reconfiguration without downtime * Kernel based filtering of harmful traffic, rejecting packets at 'line speed' * Internal Lua-based scripted answer generation * Question interception, answer reconditioning, NXDOMAIN redirection - Including 'block lists' and security measures * Built-in memory efficient cache for increased performance * Ability to continue serving data from cache for non-responsive backends * Smart rate limiting per user, per subnet, per domain * Capable of writing dynamic rules to block harmful traffic

- Also add maintainer mirror and LOCAL as a fallback. Upstream only seems
  to keep the last 50 distfiles on their mirrors and this has broken fetch
  in the past (see bug 203613).

Replace USE_GCC=4.8+ by USE_GCC=yes.  Both are equivalent as of today,
and generally we want to use the default version of GCC in cases like
these.
