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:
Saxon is a collection of tools for processing XML documents. The main components are: - An XSLT 3.0 processor, that can be used from the command line, or invoked from a Java application by use of the standard JAXP API. Saxon can be integrated with Java applications using the JAXP API, which means it is possible for a Java application to switch between different XSLT processors without changing the application code. As well as conforming closely with the XSLT 3.0 specification, Saxon offers a number of powerful extensions. - An XPath 3.1 processor accessible via an API to Java applications. - An XQuery 3.1 processor that can be used from the command line, or invoked from a Java application by use of an API. - An XML Schema 1.0 and 1.1 processor. This can be used on its own to validate a schema for correctness, or to validate a source document against the definitions in a schema. It is also used to support the schema-aware functionality of the XSLT and XQuery processors. So you can use Saxon to process XML by writing XSLT stylesheets, by writing XQuery queries, by writing Java applications, or by combinations of the approaches.

textproc/saxon-he: update to 12.8, for OpenJDK 8

Saxon-HE 12.6 did not run on OpenJDK 8, but required OpenJDK 11.
This was reverted in 12.7 with a warning that Saxon 13 will
probably not support Java 8 any more.

While here, update all the way to 12.8.

While here, also append a post-stage smoke test that prints the
first line of the help, which would fail on 12.6 to prevent
packing when it doesn't work with the default java version.

The "security gap" fixed in 12.8 only applies to the Professional
and Enterprise Editions (PE, EE) not to this Home Edition (HE):
