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:
The libblkid library is used to identify block devices (disks) as to their content (e.g., filesystem type) as well as extracting additional information such as filesystem labels/volume names, unique identifiers/serial numbers. A common use is to allow use of LABEL= and UUID= tags instead of hard-coding specific block device names into configuration files.

filesystems/libblkid: enable symbol versioning

Some ports depend on versioned symbols in libblkid, and the meson
test appears off because it tries to look for the --version-script
without having build the library, and assumes the linker does
not support the --version-script.  Force versioning.

(cherry picked from commit ccd11d773505a90ed37208bc2dff1d4a8d3ec495)
[commit message on 2025Q3 fixed to read libblkid everywhere,
and not show the copy-and-paste error libuuid]
