- Import @aws-crypto/sha256-js to use in Firefox as its implementation
of WebCrypto doesn't jump directly from highly optimized browser
internals to JIT-ed JavaScript like Chrome's seems to.
- Move the worker code to `web/js/worker/*` with each worker named after
the hashing method and hash method implementation it uses.
- Update bench.mjs to import algorithms the new way.
- Delete video.mjs, it was part of a legacy experiment that I never had
time to finish.
- Update LibreJS comment to add info about the use of
@aws-crypto/sha256-js.
- Also update my email to my @techaro.lol address.

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.

This seems counter-intuitive at first glance, but let me cook.
One of the problems with Anubis is that the rule matching is super
deterministic. This means that attackers can figure out what patterns
they are hitting and change things to bypass them.
The randInt function lets you have rulesets behave nondeterministically.
This is a very easy way to hang yourself, but can be great to
psychologically mess with scraper operators. Consider this rule:
```yaml
- name: deny-lightpanda-sometimes
action: DENY
expression:
all:
- userAgent.matches("LightPanda")
- randInt(16) >= 4
```
It would match about 75% of the time.

* 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.

Closes#372
Fun YAML fact of the day:
What is the difference between how these two expressions are parsed?
```yaml
foo: >
bar
```
```yaml
foo: >-
bar
```
They are invisible in yaml, but when you evaluate them to JSON the
difference is obvious:
```json
{
"foo": "bar\n"
}
```
```json
{
"foo": "bar"
}
```
User-Agent strings, URL path values, and HTTP headers _do_ end in
newlines in HTTP/1.1 wire form, but that newline is usually stripped
before the server actually handles it. Also HTTP/2 is a thing and does
not terminate header values with newlines.
This change makes Anubis more aggressively detect mistaken uses of the
yaml `>` operator and nudges the user into using the yaml `>-` operator
which does not append the trailing newline.
I had honestly forgotten about this YAML behavior because it wasn't
relevant for so long. Oops! Glad I released a beta.
Whenever you get into this state, Anubis will throw a config parsing
error and then give you a message hinting at the folly of your ways.
```
config.Bot: regular expression ends with newline (try >- instead of > in yaml)
```
Big thanks to https://yaml-multiline.info, this helped me realize my
folly instantly.

* feat(config): support importing bot policy snippets
This changes the grammar of the Anubis bot policy config to allow
importing from internal shared rules or external rules on the
filesystem.
This lets you create a file at `/data/policies/block-evilbot.yaml` and
then import it with:
```yaml
bots:
- import: /data/policies/block-evilbot.yaml
```
This also explodes the default policy file into a bunch of composable
snippets.

* cmd/anubis: add a debug option for benchmarking hashrate
Having the ability to benchmark different proof-of-work implementations
is useful for extending Anubis. This adds a flag `--debug-benchmark-js`
(and its associated environment variable `DEBUG_BENCHMARK_JS`) for
serving a tool to do so.
Internally, a there is a new policy action, "DEBUG_BENCHMARK", which
serves the benchmarking tool instead of a challenge. The flag then
replaces all bot rules with a special rule matching every request
to that action. The benchmark page makes heavy use of inline styles,
because currently all global styles are shared across all pages. This
could be fixed, but I wanted to avoid major changes to the templates.
* web/js: add signal for aborting an active proof-of-work algorithm
Both proof-of-work algorithms now take an optional `AbortSignal`, which
immediately terminates all workers and returns `false` if aborted before
the challenge is complete.
* web/js: add algorithm comparison to the benchmark page
"Compare:" is added to the benchmark page for testing the relative
performance between two algorithms. Since benchmark runs generally have
high variance, it may take a while for the averages to converge on a
stable difference.

* Refactor anubis to split business logic into a lib, and cmd to just be direct usage.
* Post-rebase fixes.
* Update changelog, remove unnecessary one.
* lib: refactor this
This is mostly based on my personal preferences for how Go code should
be laid out. I'm not sold on the package name "lib" (I'd call it anubis
but that would stutter), but people are probably gonna import it as
libanubis so it's likely fine.
Packages have been "flattened" to centralize implementation with area of
concern. This goes against the Java-esque style that many people like,
but I think this helps make things simple.
Most notably: the dnsbl client (which is a hack) is an internal package
until it's made more generic. Then it can be made external.
I also fixed the logic such that `go generate` works and rebased on
main.
