feat(data): add challenge-browser-like.yaml
This is a huge change to Anubis and will make it a lot more invisible at
the cost of requiring additional server configuration to make it happen.

If you add this bit of nginx config to your location block:

```nginx
proxy_set_header X-Http-Version $server_protocol;
```

And then adjust the bottom bot rule to this:

```yaml
- import: (data)/common/challenge-browser-like.yaml
```

Anubis will be way less aggressive than it was before. This will let
through any traffic that comes from a browser that actually is a browser
via some more advanced heuristics.

I think that this rule alone is the key feature of v1.18.0.

Overview

Anubis weighs the soul of your connection using a proof-of-work challenge in order to protect upstream resources from scraper bots.

This program is designed to help protect the small internet from the endless storm of requests that flood in from AI companies. Anubis is as lightweight as possible to ensure that everyone can afford to protect the communities closest to them.

Anubis is a bit of a nuclear response. This will result in your website being blocked from smaller scrapers and may inhibit "good bots" like the Internet Archive. You can configure bot policy definitions to explicitly allowlist them and we are working on a curated set of "known good" bots to allow for a compromise between discoverability and uptime.

In most cases, you should not need this and can probably get by using Cloudflare to protect a given origin. However, for circumstances where you can't or won't use Cloudflare, Anubis is there for you.
